Arterial spin labeling MR perfusion image in differentiating metabolic encephalopathy from non-convulsive status epilepticus in a patient with generalized periodic discharges with triphasic morphology

Abstract

Introduction: Arterial spin labeling (ASL) magnetic resonance (MR) perfusion imaging is useful for diagnosing non-convulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) as it visualizes ictal hyperperfusion in epileptically activated areas.
