Abstract
In this case report, we discuss a 15-year-old previously healthy boy who presented with acute onset encephalopathy with refractory status epilepticus requiring pentobarbital-induced burst suppression for seizure control. We review the differential diagnosis and important diagnostic considerations for pediatric patients presenting with acute encephalopathy. We then review Hashimoto encephalopathy (SREAT) and discuss presentation, diagnosis, and treatment.
