AB  - A  38-year-old  woman  with  a  history  of  medically  refractory  epilepsy  since  childhood  underwent  frontoparietal  temporal  craniotomy  for  implantation  of  subdural  electrode  array.  Seven  days  after  the  initial  craniotomy,  the  patient  returned  to  the  operating  room  (OR)  for  reelevation  of  her  prior  craniotomy  site,  removal  of  her  electrode  strip,  and  multiple  pial  transections.  The  area  of  epileptiform  discharge  was  ablated  and  her  intraoperative  course  was  benign.  Upon  transfer  to  the  neurologic  intensive  care  unit  (NICU,  NeuroICU),  the  patient  was  unable  to  move  her  right  arm  and  was  sent  for  an  urgent  computed  tomographic  (CT)  scan.  The  CT  scan  revealed  no  abnormalities  and  the  patient  recovered  four-fifths  motor  function  in  her  arm  upon  completion  of  the  CT  scan.
