Severe status epilepticus induced by shunt malfunction: A case report.

Introduction: Focal impaired awareness seizures are a common neurological disorder characterized by abnormal electrical activity in a specific brain region, resulting in impaired consciousness and neurological symptoms. Treatment options for patients may include antiepileptic medications, lifestyle modifications, or, in some cases, surgical intervention aimed at resecting the area of the brain responsible for seizure generation. Shunt malfunction can lead to seizures in cases of hydrocephalus; however, seizures triggered by stimulation of a specific brain area by the shunt catheter post-placement have not been reported.

Vidian nerve neurofibroma.

Vidian nerve is created from the connection of the greater petrosal nerve and the deep petrosal nerve (Giraddi et al., 2010). These two nerves transmit parasympathetic and sympathetic fibers respectively.
