Abstract

Neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE) is an increase in pulmonary interstitial and alveolar fluid that is due to an acute central nervous system injury and usually develops rapidly after the injury. It is still underappreciated in the clinical arena. It's sporadic and relatively unpredictable nature and a lack of etiologic-specific diagnostic markers and treatment modalities may in part be responsible for its poor recognition at the bedside. Neurogenic pulmonary edema in pediatric age group is largely underreported. Three patients presenting with acute onset neurogenic pulmonary edema following head trauma have been described by Neurogenic pulmonary edema in childhood by J. Ross Milley, Stephen K. Mark C. Rogers Nugent (1). We present a case of neurogenic pulmonary edema in a ten yr old female child following recurrent meningitis
