Three cases who developed postoperative hepatic dysfunction after enflurane anesthesia are described. The clinical signs and symptoms of these patients are almost identical to those of halothane liver dysfunction. A possible mechanism is discussed, but no decisive conclusion could be reached. Care should be taken for the application of enflurane anesthesia to patients with liver disease and those recently anesthetized by halothane.
