title: [Open lung biopsy in an 11 year old boy with %FVC 11%].
abstract: Anesthesia was administered to an 11 year old boy with %FVC 11%. The patient had dyspnea and severe constrictive pulmonary disorder with an almost normal chest radiograph. Open lung biopsy was performed and the patient was weaned in the first postoperative morning without any problem. Pulmonary fibrosis was caused by anti-cancer drugs given in his infancy. He died of cardiorespiratory failure 14 months postoperatively.
