Resumo
Droperidol has both anti-emetic and neuroleptic properties and its epidural administration has been reported (Naji et al. 1990). Its side effects when administered via this route are not known. We report a case of long-term (2 months) epidural administration of droperidol to a cancer patient who was receiving epidural morphine and who manifested nausea and vomiting. Akathisia developed progressively and subsided 72 h after droperidol was discontinued.
