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. One 41-year old male patient weighing 80 kg and admitted with acute appendicitis presented hemiballismus-like severe extrapyramidal movements in all his extremities when propofol was administered. In this article, we discuss how we treated these undesired propofol side effects.
