Abstract
The patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) have abnormal cerebral auto-regulation and preexisting DM is one of the major factors related to adverse postoperative neurological deficits. New onset hemiparesis is a rare and devastating event in a patient awakening from general anesthersia. We report a case of transient hemiparesis after general anesthesia in a patient underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy with uncontrolled DM.
Key Words: Diabetes mellitus, General anesthesia, Hemiparesis
