title: Oral clonazepam sensitive focal status epilepticus (FSE).
abstract: Focal status epilepticus (FSE) and Epilepsia partialis continua (EPC) are relatively uncommon disorders. Antiepileptic drugs do not usually alter the FSE-EPC. An 11 year old female patient with progressive neurologic deficits and FSE showed a remarkable response to clonazepam, both clinically and electrophysiologically.
