Levetiracetam is an antiepileptic drug that was shown to be effective in various seizure types. Experience with this agent for treating status epilepticus is just emerging. To the best of our knowledge, there is no report in the literature regarding its use in children with nonconvulsive status epilepticus. We here report a liver-transplanted child with nonconvulsive status epilepticus who responded well to oral levetiracetam treatment.

Key Words: levetiracetam • nonconvulsive status epilepticus • liver transplantation
