TI  - Nonconvulsive status epilepticus in metastatic CNS disease.
PG  - 1261-3
AB  - The authors describe the clinical and diagnostic characteristics of four patients 
      with metastatic CNS disease presenting in de novo nonconvulsive status 
      epilepticus (NCSE). Treatment with anticonvulsants resulted in resolution of NCSE 
      in two patients and a brief improvement in mental status in the other two 
      patients. NCSE should be considered in the differential diagnosis of acute mental 
      status change in patients with metastatic CNS disease.
