Abstract


Status epilepticus (SE) is a common neurological emergency with high disability and mortality rates. The degree of brain injury after SE is a key factor related to the prognosis of patients. The specific mechanism of brain injury after SE could be studied by combining pathological changes and molecular level changes. This paper summarizes the research progress of SE pathology and the underlying mechanism to provide a theoretical basis to explore new therapies and diagnostic methods of SE.
