The diagnosis and management of complex neurological conditions such as New-Onset Refractory Status Epilepticus (NORSE) and central nervous system (CNS) infections caused by non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) pose substantial difficulties in intensive care units (ICUs). This article combines a case report and a literature review that explores the diagnostic dilemmas and therapeutic strategies for these critical conditions. We report the case of an 83-year-old female with chronic granulomatous meningitis secondary to NTM, presenting a challenging diagnostic and complex management complexity typical of such a rare disease through a period time of five years.
