Many drugs are used in outpatient anesthesia procedures. One of them, propofol, is used frequently because of its advantages like fast effect and short duration. Involuntary tonic -clonic movements similar to epilepsy are rarely seen when using propofol. A 41-year old male patient weighing 80 kg and admitted with acute appendicitis presented hemiballismuslike severe extrapyramidal movements in all his extremities when propofol was administered. In this article, we discuss how we treated these undesired propofol side effects.
