Intravenous injection of flunitrazepam for status epilepticus in children--two case reports.

Abstract	Two cases of status epilepticus are reported, whose seizures responded well to the injection of flunitrazepam. One patient had generalized tonic clonic seizures and the other had partial seizures. The improvement of their condition was confirmed by both clinical and electroencephalographic examinations. There were no serious side effects observed. Flunitrazepam might have a potential efficacy for the treatment of status epilepticus of both generalized and partial seizures.
