Motor activity during general anesthesia (GA) without curarization is often interpreted as reflecting insufficient analgosedation. Here we present the case of an octogenarian scheduled for deep sclerectomy receiving opioid-sparing electroencephalography-(EEG)-guided anesthesia. Periodic Leg Movements (PLM) made their appearance with ongoing surgery while his raw EEG displayed a pattern of deep GA (burst suppression). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first description of actimetry-documented persisting PLM during EEG-monitored GA. Recognizing PLM in the context of GA is of importance for anesthesiologists, as increasing sedation may increase motor activity.
