Non-convulsive status epilepticus after electroconvulsive therapy.

Non-convulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) is a rare complication to electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). This case report presents a 28-year-old female with schizophrenia in clozapine treatment developing NCSE twice after two different series of ECT treatment. NCSE should be suspected in patients with impairment of consciousness after ECT and requires confirmation with electroencephalogram. Although NCSE is described after ECT, the diagnosis always necessitates thorough screening for other potential underlying causes.
