Case Report (n=1)
Neurogenic pulmonary oedema is a rare complication of epileptic seizures, highlighting the importance of performing a chest X-ray in patients presenting with seizures and dyspnoea.
Sova et al. (2019) conducted a case report in Neurogenic pulmonary oedema caused by repeated epileptic seizures (n=1). Repeated epileptic seizures was evaluated on Resolution of pulmonary oedema. Repeated epileptic seizures in a 66-year-old male resulted in neurogenic pulmonary oedema, which showed rapid resolution documented by X-ray and computed tomography.
