Abstract
Background: Fixed and dilated pupils (FDPs) have become synonymous with devastating neurological damage and brainstem injury commonly associated with mass effect and herniation. Infrequently, changes in pupillary light response have been described with seizures; however, the loss of pupillary response with documented Neurological Pupil index has not been well established in patients with seizures
