Abstract
- Propofol is a commonly used intravenous anaesthetic agent. SLP (Seizure-like phenomena) induced by propofol is a currently well recognized clinical entity. These phenomena can be classified according to the time point of their occurrence during anaesthesia or sedation, and their clinical presentation. The common time of occurrence is during the anaesthetic induction, and during the emergence from the anaesthesia. The typical SLP include generalized tonic-clonic movement with twitching and rhythmic movements not perceived as generalized tonic-clonic seizures. We report a 42-year-old man who suffered propofol-induced SLP.
