Title: Practical management of repeated life-threatening status epilepticus in Alternating Hemiplegia of Childhood: Case report and literature review. Epileptic Disord. 2025 May 14.
A team of Italian researchers published results from an AHC study on status epilepticus. The report aims to illustrate a comprehensive treatment approach and clinical management of an AHC patient with multiple episodes of super-refractory status epilepticus throughout his lifetime. The paper concludes that a multidisciplinary approach, proactive management, regular monitoring, and personalized interventions are crucial in both acute and post-acute phases to improve outcomes. The presence of a caregiver during care helps prevent emotional triggers, potentially averting nonepileptic events and therefore epileptic seizures, and assists healthcare professionals in understanding patients’ needs and providing care.
