AB  - We present a rare case of focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) and nonconvulsive status 
      epilepticus (NCSE) treated successfully with early surgical intervention. Our 
      case is a 9-year-old boy whose seizures, characterized by short episodes of loss 
      of consciousness, appeared at the age of 7, and he showed progressive cognitive 
      decline in the following years. NCSE was diagnosed, and his MRI revealed FCD in 
      the left frontal region which was the same side as his EEG abnormality. Following 
      lesionectomy, his NCSE disappeared and cognitive functions improved. 
      Histopathologic analysis of the resected tissue revealed type-IIB FCD. This case 
      illustrates the importance of early surgery to help restore cognitive functions 
      by eliminating the clinical and electrophysiological features of NCSE.
