Abstract
We study, in the quenched approximation, Luescher's relation between pion scattering lengths and the finite-volume energy of two pions at rest. The quenched relation is drastically different from the full theory one; in particular, ``enhanced finite-volume corrections" of order and occur at one loop ( is the linear size of the box), due to the special properties of the in the quenched approximation. Numerical examples show that the size of these effects can be substantial.
