In some cases after elective neurosurgical procedures we use technique of delayed awakening of patients. Prolonged sedation however can hide the development of epileptic seizures and lead to the status epilepticus formation. This article is a demonstration and discussion of a clinical case of nonconvulsive status epilepticus during delayed awakening of the patient due to prolonged sedation after elective neurosurgical interventionsforsupratentorial brain tumor Presented case suggests the presence of significant risk of nonconvulsive status epilepticus during prolonged sedation.
