May prompt consideration of neurogenic pulmonary edema in post-radiation cerebral edema; leaves open incidence and monitoring needs in AVM patients.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights the importance of a high index of suspicion for neurogenic pulmonary edema in ICU patients with cerebral edema to avoid misdiagnosis as pneumonia or ARDS.
Mani et al. (2005) conducted a case report in Neurogenic pulmonary edema (n=1). Gamma knife irradiation was evaluated on Development of neurogenic pulmonary edema. A 33-year-old woman developed neurogenic pulmonary edema due to delayed radiation necrosis and chronic raised intracranial pressure following stereotactic gamma irradiation for a cerebral arteriovenous malformation.
