Sammanfattning
This case presents a young woman with extrapyramidal reactions after the use of a small dose (0.625 mg) of droperidol. In combination with dexamethason (8 mg) droperidol was given as the patient underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy in order to prevent postoperative nausea and vomiting. The patient presented characteristic signs of ataxia. The signs lasted for 36 hours. We believe that droperidol was the cause. She had previously experienced similar signs after taking metoclopramide.
