Cryptogenic new onset refractory status epilepticus (NORSE) syndrome has been described in both adults and children, and is often associated with poor outcome. A variety of terms have been used in the literature to refer to this syndrom. The condition may be triggered by as yet unidentified infections or an immunological mechanism. Early use of immunotherapy appears to be associated with better neurological outcomes.
