Abstract
Despite the high frequency of seizures and propensity to develop status epilepticus (SE) most cases do not develop a long-term predisposition to seizures. So, investigating a patient with refractory epilepsy or unexplained status epilepticus is important to consider the possibility of treatable diseases i.e. treatable types of inborn error of metabolism, paraneoplasia, infections, and TLE due to temporal lobe encephalocele and IIH. Epilepsy syndrome (ES) refers to a cluster of features that should be paying attention to its red flags to narrow the wide differential diagnosis.
