We report a 48-year-old woman who developed convulsive seizures and cerebral atrophy after recovery from fulminant hepatitis B with coma and cerebral edema at the acute stage. Neurological disturbances and cerebral signs are rare sequelae of fulminant hepatic failure (FHF); only a few cases have reported in the literature. Cortical laminar necrosis secondary to cerebral edema or delayed neuronal death due to toxic substances may have caused delayed brain atrophy and epileptogenesis.
