Overview

May support lung-protective ventilation for recurrent post-seizure neurogenic edema; hypothesis-generating case report requiring prospective validation.

Case Report (n=1)

Structured PICO

P
Population
A 31-year-old man who developed recurrent acute neurogenic pulmonary edema on two consecutive admissions after experiencing witnessed generalized tonic-clonic seizures.
E
Exposure
Intubation and lung protective ventilation
O
Outcome
Resolution of bilateral infiltrates and successful extubation

This case highlights that acute neurogenic pulmonary edema can occur recurrently following generalized tonic-clonic seizures and can be managed successfully with supportive care including lung protective ventilation.

Sacher et al. (2018) conducted a case report in Recurrent acute neurogenic pulmonary edema (n=1). Generalized tonic-clonic seizures was evaluated. A 31-year-old man developed recurrent acute neurogenic pulmonary edema after generalized tonic-clonic seizures, which rapidly resolved within 24 hours with intubation and lung protective ventilation.
