Abstract
- A case is described in which non-convulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) prompted further investigation leading to the diagnosis of Lafora body disease (LBD). The onset of NCSE was temporally related to the withdrawal of sodium valproate and introduction of carbamazepine, which may have been precipitating factors. NCSE has not previously been reported in LBD. Implications for its drug management are discussed.
