title: [Status epilepticus associated with mild rotavirus gastroenteritis].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Convulsions with mild rotavirus gastroenteritis were first described by Morooka in 1982. This is a process of convulsions and gastroenteritis without any changes in complementary tests. They are few cases out of Asia and they are rarely reported in Spain.
  
  
  METHODS
  They were 2 infants, 4 and 7 months old with no background of interest who suffered from status epilepticus during a mild rotavirus gastroenteritis without resolution after treatment.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Benign afebrile cluster convulsions with rotavirus gastroenteritis is not common and is not often diagnosed in our area. It should be included in the differential diagnosis of status epilepticus and it is crucial to look for a history of diarrhoea. Careful management of diagnosis and treatment is essential given its controversial character.
