title: [Epileptoform EEG activity: occurrence under sevoflurane and not during propofol application].
abstract: In a 62-year-old female patient without a history of epileptic seizures EEG monitoring (EEG monitor: Narcotrend) was routinely performed during propofol/remifentanil and during sevoflurane/remifentanil/nitrous oxide anaesthesia. In the first course of anaesthesia after a bolus of propofol 1% a continuous EEG slowing was followed by a burst suppression pattern without occurrence of epileptiform activity throughout this sequence. During the second course of anaesthesia the sevoflurane concentration was increased from 2 to 8 % by volume. After 5 min epileptiform activity appeared in the EEG at an endtidal concentration of 5.9% by volume.
