Abstract:
This article describes the occurrence of an epileptic insult immediately after the intravenous bolus administration of 200 mg propofol (Diprivan) in a healthy patient with no medical history of epilepsy or other neurological diseases. Extensive neurological examinations including EEG and CT scan did not reveal any abnormalities. We want to emphasise that even in the absence of neurological disorders propofol may induce an instantaneous epileptic insult.
