Prolonged Seizure like Activity after Sevoflurane Based Anesthesia

Abstract

Sevoflurane is one of the most popular and widely use inhalational anesthetics in modern day anaesthesia as it has many advantages over the previously used inhalational agents. Although it has many favorable properties, very little is known about its property of causing seizure like activities associated with its use. We encountered a case of sevoflurane related prolonged seizure like activities (myoclonic jerky movement with alter consciousness) in the postoperative period requiring antiepiletic medications and postoperative intensive care admission.
