Hello,
It is possible that there was ischemia of globus pallidus after a fentanyl overdose.
It is possible to recover from it, but the degree of recovery is not clear, time will show.
Some neurological deficits may persist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Erion Spaho, Neurologist, Surgical
