Status epilepticus as a main manifestation of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome after pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

Abstract

Our experience shows that SE is more frequent than previously reported and is often the main manifestation of PRES after pediatric allo-HSCT. Looking for suggestive clinical signs as well as routine use of EEG monitoring may allow prompt recognition of SE and therapy of both SE and PRES.
