description Identifying cutaneous manifestations associated with systemic diseases is a crucial task for dermatologists and other providers in the outpatient and inpatient settings. Here, we present a rare case of postictal petechiae occurring after a generalized tonic-clonic seizure in a patient with poorly controlled epilepsy. This case illustrates a unique and underrecognized entity that may serve as the only cutaneous clue to assist in the diagnosis of recent seizure activity.
