Nonconvulsive status epilepticus

A boy of 6 years otherwise healthy developed sudden unconsciousness. He had a distant history of convulsive disorder at his earlier years for which he had taken anticonvulsant for one and half years. Than he discontinued the medicine for 3 years. Malaria, meningitis, metabolic derangement and intoxication were excluded.
The patient was levelled as 'Non convulsive Status Epilepticus'.
