Neurology. 1988; 50: 735-741 Crossref Scopus (396) Google Scholar As case fatality is related to medical infrastructure and access to emergency health sciences, these data are not necessarily valid for European populations. We present here the results of the first European population-based study of the incidence of status epilepticus and case fatality rate.
