Sorry! While seizures are a possibility (we do have a clear causative etiology here), and can be investigated further, we have a more pressing issue here. The patient is acutely hydrocephalic. If we're really worried about ongoing status epilepticus, we could concurrently empirically treat while awaiting for cEEG to get connected. Ultimately, though, we need to be more worried about these movements representing posturing from spikes in ICP. How should we directly manage the hydrocephalus and intracranial hypertension?
