Sevoflurane is a volatile non-flammable liquid, halogenated derivative of ether and used inhaled for induction and maintenance of general anesthesia. Its analgesic, antimicrobial and vasodilator properties have been described in the treatment of chronic venous ulcers. In this article we report a clinical case of the use of topical sevoflurane in our unit, in a patient who presented with venous ulcers without improvement after standard care. Drug instillations were initiated, recording an improvement in basal pain and the state of ulcers.

Keywords : Sevoflurane; Skin Ulcer; Palliative Care.
