Overview
Neurogenic pulmonary edema warrants consideration in subarachnoid hemorrhage with hypoxemic failure; case reports leave open validated criteria to differentiate from cardiogenic causes.

Population
A single patient who developed hypoxemic respiratory failure due to neurogenic pulmonary edema following catastrophic subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Neurogenic pulmonary edema following subarachnoid hemorrhage presents with clinical features that can mimic other causes of pulmonary edema, highlighting the need for accurate diagnosis in critical care.

Venkatesan et al. (2001) conducted a case report in Neurogenic pulmonary edema following catastrophic subarachnoid hemorrhage (n=1). Catastrophic subarachnoid hemorrhage was evaluated on Development of hypoxemic respiratory failure and neurogenic pulmonary edema. Catastrophic subarachnoid hemorrhage can lead to neurogenic pulmonary edema presenting with hypoxemic respiratory failure, altered consciousness, and diffuse pulmonary infiltrates.
