[Acute lung injury caused by sevoflurane: a case report]

This case report describes a rare instance of drug-induced acute lung injury in a 16-year-old male patient following circumcision performed under sevoflurane-based general anesthesia. Although sevoflurane is a widely used inhalational anesthetic with a favorable safety and tolerability profile, this case demonstrates that it may, in rare instances, precipitate acute lung injury. The clinical features, imaging findings, and laboratory findings of this case were analyzed alongside a systematic review of the relevant literature to clarify the diagnostic basis and differential diagnoses. This case report aims to raise clinicians' awareness of sevoflurane-induced acute lung injury.
