Abstract
Seizures in patients with no history of epilepsy has been associated with administration of remifentanil in two previous case reports. We present a case where a bolus dose of remifentanil (50 micrograms/kg) was followed by a self terminating generalised tonic-clonic seizure in a patient admitted for acute hip surgery, and no previous history of epilepsy.
