Neurogenic pulmonary edema caused by epileptic attack: a case report
Abstract
Neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE) is a life-threatening situation that progresses with acute respiratory distress caused by central neurological damage or injury. NPE may occur as a result of different central nervous system diseases and disorders, such as brain malignancies, traumatic brain injuries, infections, and convulsions. This case report was designed to highlight the causes, outcome, and treatment of NPE triggered by an epileptic attack.
