New-onset refractory status epilepticus (NORSE) occurs in previously healthy children or adults, often followed by refractory epilepsy and poor outcomes. The mechanisms that transform a normal brain into an epileptic one capable of seizing for prolonged periods despite treatment remain unclear. Nonetheless, several pieces of evidence suggest that immune dysregulation could contribute to hyperexcitability and modulate NORSE sequelae.
