AB  - PURPOSE: To acquaint readers with the underrecognized subacute encephalopathy 
      with seizures in chronic alcoholics (SESA) that has more recently been associated 
      with different types of status epilepticus. METHODS: Case reports and review of 
      the literature on SESA and nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE). RESULTS: Two 
      cases: one with alternating bifrontoparietal NCSE, and one with focal, 
      confusional NCSE, with imaging and EEG correlates. CONCLUSION: Underrecognized 
      SESA may present as NCSE with focal clinical, EEG and reversible 
      diffusion-weighted MRI abnormalities, warranting expedited diagnosis and 
      antiseizure treatment to minimize morbidity.
