Abstract
This report describes a 9-year-old child with status epilepticus and cat scratch disease. This patient's focal seizures and electroencephalographic changes persisted for 18 months after status epilepticus. This patient represents the third reported case of persistent focal seizures or electroencephalographic changes after status epilepticus secondary to cat scratch disease. This finding suggests that cat scratch encephalopathy may be a cause of localization-related epilepsy, and should be investigated when evaluating a patient with new-onset partial seizures.
