Abstract
In this study, we evaluate the diagnostic and localizing value of SPECT in three patients with nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE). Our results indicate that ictal/subtraction ictal SPECT is a useful complementary noninvasive diagnostic test in patients with focal NCSE. This is especially the case when the EEG findings are inconclusive and for patients in whom surgical treatment is being considered.
