TI  - A case of nonconvulsive status epilepticus associated with focal cortical 
      dysplasia.

AB  - A 6-year-old girl who exhibited nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) as her 
      main clinical seizure is reported. Her seizures involved abnormal eye movement 
      that occurred every 1-2 months associated with a dulling of responsiveness and 
      falling easily due to ataxic gait. During the seizure, her eyelids drooped so 
      that the eyes appeared hooded and she seemed to be drunk. During the episode, she 
      laughed or cried easily with no relation to her surroundings. Ictal EEG 
      continuously showed diffuse high-voltage theta and slow waves with spikes and 
      diffuse spike and waves, and interictal EEG showed spike and waves in the left 
      frontal region. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed focal cortical 
      dysplasia in the left frontal region. These findings suggested that the origin of 
      NCSE is related to the frontal lobe.
