Abstract Background It is unclear whether perioperative Bispectral Index™ (BIS) monitoring in pediatric cases with acute liver failure (ALF) is effective for evaluation of neurological function. We describe a pediatric patient with hepatic encephalopathy (HE) in whom the BIS value increased from low levels to the normal range during liver transplantation (LT). Case presentation Electroencephalography in a 6-year-old comatose girl diagnosed with ALF and HE who was unresponsive to pain and auditory stimuli revealed continuous slow waves, and hence, emergency LT was performed. Intraoperatively, BIS values remained low until reperfusion. However, BIS value variability increased after reperfusion. She was subsequently discharged without any neurological sequelae. Conclusions Low BIS values were considered to reflect the severity of HE. It is possible that improvement of the BIS value and waveform was a reflection of graft function. BIS monitoring might be a good indicator of neurological recovery after LT.
