Abstract
Perioperative seizures were common in this cohort. Intraoperative seizures predominantly affected the left hemisphere during antegrade cerebral perfusion. Delayed recovery in aEEG background was associated with increased risk of early mortality and worse motor development. Ongoing monitoring is essential to determine the longer-term significance of these findings.
