This study found that cryptogenic NORSE causes severe, rapidly rising neuroaxonal injury, measured by NfL, and that higher NfL predicts worse short-term outcome. S100B was not useful for distinguishing groups.

Neurofilament Light Chain Reveals Rapid Neuroaxonal Injury in New-Onset Refractory Status Epilepticus

By MedXY 04/30/2026

In a multinational cross-sectional study, serum and CSF neurofilament light chain—unlike S100B—tracked severe acute brain injury in cryptogenic NORSE, rose rapidly over the first 3 weeks, and predicted poor short-term outcome, supporting urgent neuroprotective treatment.
