Characteristic pulvinar degeneration may be found as an acquired phenomenon in prolonged refractory status epilepticus. We hypothesize that the neuropathological findings result from an excessive focal metabolic demand, secondary to neuronal network over activation in the setting of prolonged, frequent bi-temporal seizures.
