AB  - We present a 70-year-old woman with nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) with 
      thalamic hyperintensity on diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI). She had no previous 
      history of epilepsy. Her altered mentality was not normalized though we 
      successfully controlled the ictal activity by standard treatment. Initial DWI 
      showed diffuse hyperintensity in the right thalamus, which raised the possibility 
      of seizure-related change. At the follow-up DWI, more localized high signal 
      intensity lesion was present in the right pulvinar area. There was no apparent 
      cause of her NCSE despite our extensive work-ups. The authors suggest that 
      transient ischemia is a possible causative pathomechanism in this case.
