Zusammenfassung:A systemic convulsion occurred in a 63-year-old woman with chronic renal failure undergoing aorto-coronary bypass grafting on postopretive day 4. The origin could not be determined in spite of various examinations. Anticonvulsion drugs were not effective. Amino acids and rare elements were finally administered, and the convulsions gradually disappeared. Various examinations for serum levels of electrocytes, rare elements and drugs, and cerebrovascular diseases are necessary in the postoperative management of patients with chronic renal failure.
