They are characterized by de novo onset of refractory status epilepticus (RSE) without clearly identifiable acute or active cause (structural, toxic, or metabolic). We reviewed the literature using PubMed reports published between 2003 and 2019 and summarized the clinical, neurophysiological, imaging, and treatment findings. Focal motor seizures, which tend to evolve into status epilepticus, characterize the typical presentation. Disease course is biphasic: acute phase followed by chronic phase with refractory epilepsy and neurological impairment. Aetiology is unknown, but immune\u2010inflammatory\u2010mediated epileptic encephalopathy is suspected. Electroencephalograms show variety in discharges (sporadic or periodic, focal, generalized, or more frequently bilateral), sometimes with a multifocal pattern. About 70% of adult NORSE have abnormal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); in paediatric series of FIRES, 61.2% of patients have a normal brain MRI at the beginning and only 18.5% during the chronic phase. No specific therapy for FIRES and NORSE currently exists; high doses of barbiturates and ketogenic diet can be used with some effectiveness. Recently, anakinra and tocilizumab, targeting interleukin pathways, have emerged as potential specific therapies. Mortality rate is around 12% in children and even higher in adults (16\u201327%).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>What this
