| Popis: | Neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE) is a clinical syndrome characterized by the acute onset of pulmonary edema following a significant central nervous system (CNS) lesion in the absence of cardiopulmonary disease [1, 2]. In most cases the precise CNS lesion site directly associated with NPE could not be identified. According to some case reports and animal experiments these ‘NPE trigger zones’ include the hypothalamus and the medulla [3–5]. We report a case where NPE was induced by a bilateral medial medullary infarction (BMMI), a rare stroke syndrome per se. |
