New onset refractory status epilepticus (NORSE), including its subtype with a preceding febrile illness known as febrile infection‐related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES), is one of the most severe forms of status epilepticus. The exact causes of NORSE are currently unknown, and there is so far no disease‐specific therapy. Identifying the underlying pathophysiology and discovering specific biomarkers, whether...
Objective
This study was undertaken to develop consensus‐based recommendations for the management of adult and pediatric patients with new onset refractory status epilepticus (NORSE)/febrile infection‐related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES) based on best evidence and experience.
Methods
The Delphi methodology was followed. A facilitator group of nine experts was established, who defined the scope, users,...

To develop consensus‐based recommendations for the management of adult and pediatric patients with new‐onset refractory status epilepticus (NORSE)/febrile infection‐related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES) based on best available evidence and expert opinion.

The Delphi methodology was followed. A facilitator group of nine experts was established who defined the scope, users, and suggestions...
Objective
Neuroinflammation associated with anti‐N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis may facilitate seizures. We previously showed that intraventricular administration of cerebrospinal fluid from patients with anti‐NMDAR encephalitis to mice precipitates seizures, thereby confirming that antibodies are directly pathogenic. To determine whether interleukin (IL)‐1‐mediated inflammation...
Objective
Seizures develop in 80% of patients with anti–N‐methyl‐d‐aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis, and these represent a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Anti‐NMDAR antibodies have been linked to memory loss in encephalitis; however, their role in seizures has not been established. We determined whether anti‐NMDAR antibodies from autoimmune encephalitis patients are pathogenic for...
Psychogenic nonepileptic spells (PNES) are paroxysmal movements or sensory events that resemble epileptic seizures but lack corresponding ictal electrographic changes. A confirmed diagnosis of PNES is only accomplished via video electroencephalogram (vEEG) monitoring. Prior to diagnosis, patients are often assessed with neurodiagnostic imaging and their conditions treated with anticonvulsant medications,...
