We report a case of non convulsive status epilepticus after an intrathecal injection of fluorescein. The clinical presentation was a confusional state ‐ the epileptic origin of which was confirmed by the electroencephalogram. This rare and relatively benign complication should not bring about worry concerning the fluorescein test used for the diagnosis of a dural defect and the identification of the site of a CSF leak.
