Abstract

Neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE) is a form of non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema that develops as a result of acute central nervous system injury, including in patients with epilepsy. This article presents a clinical case of a 16-year-old adolescent male with NPE that developed following an epileptic seizure. The clinical, laboratory, and instrumental findings are described, along with the challen ges of diagnostic confirmation within a multidisciplinary approach. This case demonstrates the need to include NPE in the differential diagnosis of respiratory disorders in children associated with neurological diseases.

Keywords: neurogenic pulmonary edema, hemoptysis, epilepsy, children.
