Abstract
A patient with patent ductus arteriosus presents with seizure after haemodialysis. Although conscious on arrival to the emergency department with spontaneous limb movement, he develops recurrent convulsion and left hemiparesis after admission. The approach to the haemodialysis patient presenting with seizure is discussed and the role of early hyperbaric oxygen therapy for an uncommon but important diagnosis is highlighted.
