title: [Transfusion-related acute lung injury after following neurosurgery: case report].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The Transfusion-Related Acute Lung Injury (TRALI), is defined as noncardiogenic pulmonary edema temporally related to transfusion therapy, evolving with ventilation necessity mechanics in the great majority of the cases. This objective of this study was to present case of TRALI in the immediate postoperative of neurosurgery.
  
  
  METHODS
  We describe the case of a patient who presented broncoespasm and decreased oxygen saturation after to have received fresh-frozen plasma in the neurosurgery, who presented TRALI. The patient was submitted a invasive hemodynamic monitoring, sedation and supplemental oxygen with mechanical ventilation, with gradual improvement, leaving the intensive care unit in the eight day of postoperative.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The TRALI must be investigated in the patients who receive transfusion therapy and present lung injury.
