ABSTRACT Although catatonia is a well-known psychiatric syndrome, there are many possible systemic and neurological etiologies. The aim of this case report was to present a case of a patient with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis and infarction in which catatonia was the clinical manifestation of a possible nonconvulsive status epilepticus. To our knowledge, only one such case has been reported in the literature, which had a simplified diagnostic investigation. It is important to correctly recognize the organic cause underlying catatonia in order to treat the patient as soon as possible thereby improving outcome. Therefore, physicians need to update their knowledge on catatonia, recognizing that it can be part of a psychiatric or neurologic condition.

AbstractMetronidazole-induced encephalopathy is a rare toxic encephalopathy secondary to the common use to this antimicrobial drug. It has been reported mainly in adult patients but only rarely in children. Owing to possible devastating complication of this disease, clinicians should have a higher index of suspicion for encephalopathic patients on metronidazole therapy. Here, we report a 5-month-old infant with metronidazole-induced encephalopathy presenting with nonconvulsive status epilepticus. A review of the literature in pediatric, as well as adult metronidazole-induced encephalopathy, is also provided.
