Anticonvulsants are used routinely for seizure prophylaxis in patients with supratentorial tumour who present with/without seizures. Excessive use of prophylactic anticonvulsant may delay the recovery from anaesthesia. We have studied the recovery profiles of patients who received an additional dose of anticonvulsant in comparison with those who received only the regular dose.
