This report describes the case of a patient with a history of chronic diseases, who suffered a traumatic brain injury and presented a complex clinical picture, with possible diagnosis of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), viral encephalitis, brain metastasis, and paraneoplastic encephalitis. The diagnostic approach involved complementary tests and the progression of the condition, focusing on neurological management and complications associated with the patient’s condition. After investigation, a diagnosis of status epilepticus was confirmed; however, the patient passed away after 18 days of hospitalization. It was possible to identify the importance of early diagnosis and timely treatment to prevent complications of the condition, such as death.
