Postanoxic Burst Suppression Electroencephalogram in a Comatose Child Associated with Spontaneous Eyelid Opening

Figure 1

Burst suppression electroencephalogram associated with spontaneous eyelid opening. Electroencephalogram reveals burst suppression pattern with eyelid closure coinciding with onset of suppression (a, c). Eyelid opening was observed following 2 seconds of generalized bursts (b), was not mechanically suppressible, and did not cease following anticonvulsant therapy. Dashed line on the electroencephalogram recording corresponds to the initiation of eyelid movements.
