Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the Journal of Clinical Medicine (JCM) Editorial Team, we are delighted to present a new Special Issue on the topic of “Epileptic Seizures in Critically Ill Patients”, Guest Edited by Dr. Stephane Legriel, from the Versailles hospital, France.

Epileptic seizures in critically ill patients involves various multi-disciplinary teams, including but not limited to medical physicians and nurses from emergency departments, operating rooms, or intensive and neurocritical care units. Management associates general measures with organ failure supportive care according to patients severity, antiepileptic treatment appropriate for the electrical and clinical pattern in the patient, investigations for a cause and etiological treatment, and electroencephalography monitoring. To date, few outcome data are available regarding the large spectrum of presentation, underlying conditions, immediate severity and outcomes in critically ill patients with epileptic seizures in these settings.

The present Special Issue aims to invite authors to contribute original research articles, as well as review articles related to all aspects of epileptic seizures in critically ill patients, diagnosis, management, and outcomes.
