A rare complication of epileptic seizure: Two cases of neurogenic pulmonary edema

Abstract

Neurogenic pulmonary edema is a form of alveolar edema that results from an increased adrenergic response secondary to central nervous system injury. It is characterized by elevated catecholamine levels and increased pulmonary hydrostatic pressure. The causes of neurogenic pulmonary edema include traumatic brain injury, stroke, intracranial hemorrhage, acute hydrocephalus, meningitis, drug overdose, and epilepsy. Non-specific symptoms such as shortness of breath, cough, and pink frothy sputum may occur due to pulmonary edema. We present two cases of patients, aged 43 and 32, both diagnosed with epilepsy, who presented to the emergency department with respiratory complaints following epileptic seizures. Diagnostic evaluations confirmed neurogenic pulmonary edema, and clinical improvement was observed following symptomatic treatment.
