Case ReportsPropofol, seizures and generalized paroxysmal fast activity in the EEG.
Propofol is a relatively new anesthetic agent used in outpatient surgery. Some investigators use it in the treatment of status epilepticus and in epilepsy surgery and have concluded that propofol has an anticonvulsant effect. ⋯ Different EEG abnormalities, and no abnormality, have been associated with propofol. We report a case of a healthy man who developed nonconvulsive seizures and generalized paroxysmal fast activity in his EEG following use of propofol for anesthesia.
