Propofol-induced seizure is a rare complication of propofol. This case study presents a case of a 26-year-old male who presented with traumatic paraplegia secondary to a chance fracture of the L2 vertebra with spinal cord and spinal bone (S/B/B) involvement. Propofol 140 mg IV was administered along with Fentanyl 100 µg IV, and VEC (vecuronium) 6 mg IV in preparation for surgery. The patient began seizing after the administration of Propofol 140 mg IV. The EEG (Electroencephalograph) patterns were consistent with those of a generalized tonic-clonic seizure. The objective of this clinical case report is to highlight the importance of vigilance during propofol infusion despite its excellent safety profile.
