AbstractPurpose: To delineate a catastrophic childhood epileptic syndrome of unknown cause presenting with persistent intractable multifocal status.Methods: Case note review.Results: Six children aged 5 months to 6 years presented with focal seizures that progressed within days to intractable multifocal seizures with or without secondary generalisation, which recurred every few minutes and persisted for weeks. One developed impaired consciousness shortly before seizures started. The two younger children showed mild developmental delay before onset but the others were normal. The seizures were unresponsive to all conventional anticonvulsants, steroids or pyridoxine and could only be controlled with doses of thiopentone sufficient to cause el...
