Description
Summary:Purpose of Review Status epilepticus (SE) is a multisystem disorder. Initially, complications of a massive catecholamine release followed by the side effects of medical therapies, impact patients’ outcomes. The aim of this article is to provide an updated summary of the systemic complications following SE. Recent Findings In recent years, the importance of the multifaceted nature of SE and its relationship with clinical outcomes has been increasingly recognized. The cumulative systemic effects of prolonged seizures and their treatment contribute to morbidity and mortality in this condition. Summary Most systemic complications after SE are predictable. Anticipating their occurrence and respecting a number of simple guidelines may improve the prognosis of these patients.
