The term "status epilepticus" was first coined in 1824 by Calmeil as this condition had such a poor prognosis. Although still commonly misused today, from the beginning this term actually included all kinds of epileptic seizures, since there are as many types of status epileptici as there are seizure types. Status epileptici are usually triggered by a combination of factors including sleep deprivation, alcohol withdrawal, failure to take medication regularly and fever. In status epilepticus epileptic seizures and EEG discharges initially appear to be no different from isolated seizures. The longer the status epilepticus continues, however, the more atypical the seizures and EEG discharges become. Usually status epilepticus ends gradually. Irreversible damage or fatalities may occur especially in infants or under certain conditions (e.g. long status duration, protracted interval between seizure onset and medical treatment and symptomatic etiology). In most cases benzodiazepines and diphenylhydantoine are the preferred drugs used for treatment.
