Fig. 1 Electroencephalography (EEG). (A) Ictal EEG. Tonic seizure starts at the purple line. Fast rhythmical activity (21Hz) precedes clinical onset, followed by slow activity (2.5–4Hz) with anterior emphasis. (B) Inter-ictal EEG 1. Mild excess of slow wave activity with intermittent irregular temporal theta. (C) Inter-ictal EEG 2. Excess of slow wave activity in background. Fairly frequent bursts of spikes/polyspikes and slow wave complexes, without clinical accompaniment.

Fig. 2 Summary of anti-epileptic drug doses and seizure burden over the first 60 days of admission. For general anaesthesia, bars at “100%” indicate maintenance of anaesthesia aiming for clinical seizure freedom, bars at “50%” indicate a period of attempted weaning of anaesthesia. The daily seizure burden was calculated from bedside nursing seizure charts recording the number and duration of individual seizures.
