Recurrent status epilepticus as the primary neurological manifestation of CADASIL: A case report.

Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) often presents with a history of migraine with aura and eventual manifestations of dementia with unrelenting, repeated cerebral vascular insults. Only 6-10% of patients with CADASIL have been reported to develop seizures, and status epilepticus (SE) is exceedingly rare. Here, we describe a patient who presented with recurrent SE, with eventual biopsy diagnosis of CADASIL.
