Description
Summary:Currently, there is a lack of knowledge regarding meningitis. We report the first case of super-refractory status epilepticus (SRSE) in a woman with meningitis. The case report demonstrates that this condition can lead to severe SRSE. Effective treatment for epilepsy is crucial for improving the prognosis for similar patients. According to Gomes et al.'s consensus protocol for SRSE, using a combination of up to one anesthetic drug and three non-anesthetic anti-epileptic drugs may be helpful and important in managing SRSE that is caused by meningitis.
