title: [A marked elevation in serum CPK following sevoflurane anesthesia].
abstract: A one year-old girl with an arachnoid cyst received an arachnoid cystperitoneal shunt operation two tims, firstly under sevoflurane anesthesia, and secondarily under isoflurane anesthesia. After sevoflurane anesthesia, her serum CPK level increased markedly up to 7550 mU.ml-1, but such an increase was not observed following isoflurane anesthesia. The perioperative management was almost identical on these two occasions. A combination of sevoflurane anesthesia and succinylcholine might cause a significant increase in the serum CPK level.
