Extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) are movement disorders due to side effects of dopamine receptor blocking agents. Symptoms of EPS include dystonia, akathisia, and parkinsonism. Symptoms of EPS in this case are found in normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) which does not consume dopamine receptor blocking drugs. Normal pressure hydrocephalus is hydrocephalus which does not coincide with intracranial pressure (ICT) elevation. Reported a case of a 57-year-old male with decreased consciousness and extrapyramidal symptoms and Normo pressure hydrocephalus (NPH), a V-P Shunt operation was performed. The operation was carried out under general anesthesia, using a non-kinking ETT no. 7.5, controlled ventilation. Premedication given midazolam 2 mg iv, Co induction with oxycodon 10 mg iv. Induction with propofol 150 mg iv, intubation facilities with rocketuronium 30 mg iv, maintenance with O2: Air (50: 50), sevoflurane, propofol continuous 100 mg/hour, rokuronium 20 mg/hour. Stable hemodynamics, SBP 130–150 mmHg, DBP 80–90 mmHg, HR 50–70 x/min, O2 saturation 99–100%, etCO2 35–37. After surgery the patient was treated in the intensive care unit (ICU) for monitoring blood pressure and extrapyramidal symptoms. The main goal of treatment should not be solely for the treatment of acute symptoms of EPS but also for the management of basic disease causing EPS related to morbidity and maintaining quality of life. Multidisciplinary management (neurosurgery, neurosurgery, intensive anesthesia and medical rehabilitation) are needed for better long-term results.
