Glucose status epilepticus

Laminar necrosis is a rare manifestation of neuronal injury with a very poor prognosis. Laminar necrosis often follows hypotension of relatively slow onset but of long duration. The process thus results from oxygen or glucose depletion caused by anoxia, hypoglycemia, status epilepticus, or ischemic stroke. Most of our patients had some form of circulatory failure. 

B. Other useful laboratory studies include electrolytes, glucose, liver transaminases, and arterial blood gases (if the patient is comatose or in status epilepticus).
