Total intravenous anesthesia with remimazolam in a patient with epilepsy who underwent deep brain stimulation: a case report
Drugs administered for anesthesia can trigger seizure attacks in patients with epilepsy. Benzodiazepines have been consistently reported to be anticonvulsants, and a novel benzodiazepine, remimazolam, was recently introduced. We report a case of total intravenous anesthesia maintained with remimazolam in a patient with epilepsy who underwent deep brain stimulation of both anterior thalamic nuclei. Despite the administration of multiple anti-epileptic drugs, no tolerance to remimazolam was observed. Perioperative seizures were also not observed. Remimazolam can be considered the anesthetic of choice in patients with epilepsy.
