Refractory status epilepticus is defined as seizure activity that continues after treatment with conventional anticonvulsants. An 8-month-old male had an operation for repair of small bowel perforation, and he suffered a febrile seizure that developed into refractory status epilepticus. Febrile seizure is the most common etiology for children with status epilepticus. We report here on a case of a patient with refractory status epilepticus, and he was managed with sevoflurane, an inhalational anesthetic. The patient was given an inspired concentration of 0.6-2 vol% sevoflurane for 15 days. After stopping of sevoflurane inhalation, he continued to experience intermittent convulsive status epilepticus that was successfully managed with using conventional anticonvulsants.
