Well...: lack of oxygen causing brain damage is a known cause of new seizure disorders. Cannot say in your particular case.

Seizure: Nitrous-oxide induced seizures have been reported and is known to be a possible reaction or side effect of this inhaled anesthetic. It would not be possible to tell you if your seizure a year later is related to the nitrous oxide. Once you have had a seizure you need to be under a neurologist care who commonly begin anti-epileptic treatment for sometime. Please consult your neurologist .
