Occurrence of early NCS is known to have subsequent neurologic sequelae due to excitotoxic neuronal injury. Case report This is a case report of a young girl who sustained a TBI due to a motor vehicle accident (MVA) and was admitted with a fluctuating level of consciousness. Her clinical presentation was attributed to TBI; however as her conscious level did not recover, an electroencephalogram (EEG) was requested, which detected non convulsive status epilepticus (NCSE). Anti-seizure medication (ASM) was started. Her follow-up EEG and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were suggestive of the potential adverse effects of prolonged NCSE. Conclusion NCS may remain undiagnosed in TBI due to a paucity of overt clinical manifestations. Every patient with TBI and altered consciousness at presentation should be evaluated by continuous EEG monitoring immediately, if possible, in the emergency department to avoid long-term sequelae of NCS in such cases.<\/ns3:p>","DOI":"10.12688\/f1000research.135482.2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,24]],"date-time":"2024-01-24T10:55:06Z","timestamp":1706093706000},"page":"1155","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.12688\/f1000research.crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Case Report: Non-convulsive seizure following traumatic brain injury \u2014 a significant occurrence that needs to be considered due to potential long-term sequelae"],"prefix":"10.12688","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6027-7229","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Azra","family":"Zafar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2560","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"28-29","DOI":"10.1111\/epi.12270","article-title":"Unified EEG terminology and criteria for nonconvulsive status epilepticus.","volume":"54","author":"S Beniczky","year":"2013","journal-title":"Epilepsia."},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"169-175","DOI":"10.17712\/nsj.2020.3.20190097","article-title":"Factors affecting functional outcomes of traumatic brain injury rehabilitation at a rehabilitation facility in Saudi Arabia.","volume":"25","author":"S Ullah","year":"2020","journal-title":"Neurosciences (Riyadh)."},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"792-798","DOI":"10.1212\/WNL.0b013e3181f07334","article-title":"Nonconvulsive seizures after traumatic brain injury are associated with hippocampal atrophy.","volume":"75","author":"P Vespa","year":"2010","journal-title":"Neurology."},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"291-305","DOI":"10.1136\/practneurol-2017-001796","article-title":"Non-convulsive status epilepticus: mimics and chameleons.","volume":"18","author":"M Kinney","year":"2018","journal-title":"Pract.
