AbstractThis case report details a novel approach to the management of super-refractory status epilepticus (SRSE) in a boy with new-onset seizures progressing to SRSE. After exhausting multiple medications, dexmedetomidine, an α2-adrenoreceptor agonist used for sedation, stopped his SRSE. Dexmedetomidine provides a unique mechanism of action to treat this condition. Further studies are needed to determine its role in SRSE.Published by Elsevier Ltd.
