Intraoperative seizure activity during general anesthesia with isoflurane has been reported by Hymes (1). In the reported case, increased muscle tone progressed to sustained myoclonus of the lower extremities 2 hr after induction of anesthesia. The patient’s vital signs remained unchanged, and laboratory evaluation, including arterial blood gas tensions and serum levels of electrolytes and calcium, was normal. The myoclonus persisted into the recovery period in the presence of an apparently normal level of consciousness. The proposed role of isoflurane as the etiologc agent of the seizures in the patient described by Hymes has been questioned by Keats (2) on the basis that the patient had received multiple drugs including diazepam, morphine, glycopyrrolate, fentanyl, d-tubocurarine, thiopental, succinylcholine, nitrous oxide, and isoflurane. The present report describes postoperative myoclonus and seizure-like activity in a patient who received only thiopental, nitrous oxide, oxygen, and isoflurane.
