description Pulmonary edema is infrequently reported after administration of propofol. This article describes pulmonary edema in a woman of 45 year old who presented for elective cholecystectomy for minimum access, under general anesthesia with propofol. According to possible hypotheses in previous reports this pulmonary edema could be due to a direct cardiodepressant  effect of propofol for antagonism with calcium channels or to the syndrome related with propofol infusion. Moreover, it is likely that in this case there is an underlying ischemia coexisted whenever a segmental alteration of ventricular contraction was observed on echocardiography.
