Su manifestación se ha relacionado con múltiples factores de riesgo; la confusión es la manifestación clínica inicial en 49% de los pacientes, que interfiere en su calidad de vida y funcionalidad. El diagnóstico diferencial con el delirio es esencial debido a ser clínicamente similar, por lo que descartar factores predisponentes y precipitantes y corregir causas reversibles forma parte del manejo inicial. El electroencefalograma con correlación clínica establece el diagnóstico de acuerdo con el tipo de manifestación de estado epiléptico no convulsivo. El diagnóstico correcto permite su identificación y confirmación tempranas para otorgar el tratamiento anticonvulsivo ideal basado en la edad del paciente, comorbilidades y trastornos psiquiátricos acompañantes que permiten al paciente geriátrico disminuir su morbilidad y mortalidad y preservar su funcionalidad.]]></p></abstract>

Its presentation has been linked to many risk factors and confusion is the initial clinical manifestation in up to 49% of the patients which interferes with their quality of life and conditions disability. Differential diagnosis with delirium is essential because its similarity, so discard predisposing and precipitating factors and correct reversible causes is part of the initial management. The electroencefalogram (EEG) with clinical correlation establishes the diagnosis according to the type of non-convulsive epileptic status presentation. Diagnostic suspicion allows the identification and early confirmation, for choosing the ideal anticonvulsant treatment based on the patient&#8217;s age, comorbidities and psychiatric disorders in the geriatric patients, to reduce morbidity and mortality and preserve their functionality.]]></p></abstract>
