About This Trial
The investigators propose a prospective study of 20 control subjects and 180 consecutive patients with possible non-convulsive status epilepticus (NCSE). The investigators will obtain three functional images of the brain:
1. Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET)
2. Perfusion (and structural) magnetic resonance (MR) images
3. Computed tomography (CT) perfusion.
