Article Synopsis
- Hepatotoxicity from volatile anesthetics is rare but clinically important due to their common use, unpredictable onset, and potential severity.
- Halothane is the anesthetic most associated with liver dysfunction, particularly upon re-exposure, while cases involving sevoflurane are very uncommon.
- A 1-year-old girl developed severe acute hepatitis and died after surgery with sevoflurane, leading to the case's serious classification in national and European pharmacovigilance systems to enhance patient safety and inform medical literature.
