Non-epileptic pedaling-like movement induced by triclofos

We reported an otherwise healthy infant with non-epileptic pedaling-like movement induced by triclofos. For the purpose of sedation for head computed tomography, 80 mg/kg of triclofos was administered. Fifteen minutes after the use of triclofos, the infant exhibited pedaling-like movement accompanied by slight upper eye deviations. This movement could be arrested by manual restraint. The pedaling-like movement lasted for about 2 h intermittently. Electroencephalography during this movement revealed physiological activities with semirhythmic theta waves without paroxysmal activities.
