Abstract
Cenobamate is an effective new adjunctive antiseizure medication (ASM) for treatment resistant focal epilepsy. It has broad spectrum anticonvulsant activity and may be a useful medication for super refractory status epilepticus (SRSE), but has not yet been studied in generalized seizures or an inpatient setting. Here we describe 2 SRSE cases where cenobamate was added safely to other treatments. It was uptitrated slowly to reduce the risk of hypersensitivity reactions which have been observed previously with rapid increasing dosages. Both patients achieved seizure control and liberation from intensive care. They have remained seizure free with continued treatment and have not experienced any side effects attributable to cenobamate. Cenobamate warrants further examination in patients with refractory status epilepticus.
