Abstract
- There are a few case reports describing persistent seizure following propofol. A 45-year-old female underwent operation of mastoidectomy and tympanoplasty. She had no personal or family history of epilepsy. Anesthesia was induced with propofol and rocuronium, and maintained with sevofluraneremifentanil after tracheal intubation. Any event was not noted during surgery. Seizure-like movement and shivering were developed after surgery in recovery room. Symptom was relieved by benzodiazepines, especially lorazepam. She was discharged in the 9th postoperative days without any sequelae.
