Abstract
Propofol related infusion syndrome is a rare and potentially lethal complication of propofol infusion. The syndrome is clinically characterized by multiorgan failure and brain injury has also been reported. We report the case of symmetric thalami, innominate substance and dentate nuclei involvement with left middle cerebral artery stroke in a five-month-old infant who presented with multiorgan failure concerning for propofol related infusion syndrome.
