Abstract: | Neurogenic pulmonary edema may be a consequence of a number of diverse central nervous system insults, including resection of an acoustic neuroma. Brainstem lesions in particular seem to cause neurogenic pulmonary edema. Diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion, especially in the case of respiratory decompensation following a seizure. |
