Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?

Unfortunately, your hospital does not have continuous EEG capabilities. Of the following options, which physical exam change in this paralyzed patient is most likely to indicate potential repeat seizure and prompt stat repeat spot EEG and consideration of antiepileptic bolus?
