AbstractTreatment of status epilepticus often requires highly sedative drugs with risk of side effects. Correct diagnosis is mandatory in order to prevent introduction of usefulness treatments. We report a case of suspected myoclonic status epilepticus. A thalamic lesion secondary to an osmotic demyelination syndrome was found to be the likely etiology of the myoclonus. Electrophysiological data (electroencephalography and electromyography) provided evidence for a subcortical origin of myoclonus and use of continuous EEG allowed monitoring of drug withdrawal.Copyright © 2016 Elsevier Masson SAS.
