dc.description.abstractIntroduction: Status epilepticus is considered refractory when seizure activity continues after receiving treatment with a benzodiazepine followed by infusion of traditional antiepileptic drugs. Mushroom poisoning may lead to variable clinical pictures. Although it is known that mushroom poisoning may develop epileptic seizures, there are no data about status epilepticus associated with amanita virosa mushroom poisoning in the literature. Case Report: A 6-year-old epileptic patient who regularly used antiepileptic drugs and had no seizures for 2 years was admitted to the emergency department due to refractory status epilepticus after ingestion of mushroom. Seizures that were refractory to antiepileptic therapy was controlled with intubation and mechanical ventilation after general anesthesia. Laboratory tests were normal, except elevated PTZ and aPTT. The patient, who had no additional problems and stabilized, was discharged on the fifth day of admission. Conclusion: We suggested that mushroom poisoning may reduce the threshold for seizures in our patient. In this study, it is emphasized that different clinical features may be found in a patient at the same time.en_US
