Abstract
- Status epilepticus is rare complication of cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome and is a critical medical emergency that requires potent anesthetics. Propofol has the advantages of being rapid-acting and possessing a weaker cardiopulmonary suppression profile, but its use is associated with serious propofol infusion syndrome. We report herein a case of cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome after carotid endarterectomy presenting with refractory partial status epilepticus and fatal outcome associated with propofol infusion syndrome.
