Abstract
IV Levetiracetam controls status epilepticus or cluster seizures with an efficacy comparable to that of phenytoin. Use of these two agents consecutively may control >90% of all such conditions without resort to anaesthetic agents. Further studies should explore its efficacy in larger cohorts of epileptic emergencies.
