Post-ictal EEG and ECG. (A) Seizure termination and beginning of atrial fibrillation (asterisk). (B) PGES during AF beginning immediately after seizure termination. EEG amplitude was < 10 muV and lasted 90 s.

After the seizure he was unresponsive for 20 min, in association with a post-ictal generalized electroencephalographic suppression (PGES) pattern (Fig. 1). AF (Fig. 1, Fig. 2) that subsequently switched to atrial flutter (Fig. 2), lasting 4 min 40 s, and then reverted spontaneously to sinus rhythm (Fig. 2).
Sample of post-ictal atrial fibrillation evolution. Post-ictal sinus tachycardia (first line), beginning of atrial fibrillation (asterisk), and posterior conversion into atrial flutter (third line). Return to sinus rhythm in the last line (arrow).
