Neurogenic pulmonary edema secondary to epileptic seizure

Abstract

Neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE) is a non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema that is caused by an acute central nervous system injury and usually develops rapidly after an injury. Although several episodes of NPE resolve spontaneously, the condition may cause unexpected death among patients with epilepsy.

Keywords: epileptic seizure; neurogenic pulmonary edema.
