Article Synopsis
- New-onset refractory status epilepticus (NORSE) is a serious condition that can cause significant disability, often not responding well to standard treatments.
- An 11-year-old girl with anti-GAD 65 encephalitis who experienced NORSE showed minimal improvement with regular anti-seizure medications and first-line therapies.
- After receiving intrathecal dexamethasone (IT-DEX) along with rituximab, her neuroinflammation decreased, seizure frequency dropped, and she could reduce anesthesia, suggesting IT-DEX could be beneficial early on for various causes of refractory status epilepticus.
