Abstract

Status epilepticus (SE) is a life-threatening emergency condition. In addition to well-known etiological factors, many rare causative factors have also been defined. Ecstasy (3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methylamphetamine) is an amphetamine derivative known to cause SE. Presently described is a case of recurrent SE in which ecstasy was an etiological factor.
