Abstract
- Neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE) was first reported in the literature in 1874. NPE has been described following head injury, subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), intracerebral hemorrhage, seizures, brain stem tumor and cervical spinal cord injury. According to the reports in the literature since 1990, the most frequent underlying factor for NPE has been subarachnoid hemorrhage and aneurysm rupture is following. The incidence of NPE was reported to be 6% in a series of 457 patients with SAH. We present here a case of NPE arising from cerebellar hemorrhage, which is a very rare cause of NPE.
