NEUROGENIC PULMONARY EDEMA IN CLINICAL PRACTICE

Sa？etak Neurogenic pulmonary edema (NEP) is a relatively rare form of pulmonary edema develops a few minutes to several hours from the onset of neurological damage. It is believed that the increased intracranial pressure (IC) has given birth to the NEP. The most common conditions leading to an increase in IC's, and thus the NEP are intracerebral bleeding from any source, subarachnoid hemorrhage and epileptic status. The pathogenesis of the NEP is not entirely clarify unambiguously that disturbances in the nuclei of the medulla oblongata and the ways and hypothalamus with the increase IC and bring increased activity simpatoadrenergi？kog system and the consequent development of the NEP. The most common clinical NEP presents dyspnea and often mild hemoptysis. There is no specific nor radiological diagnostics that would confirm the NEP. Therapy NEP is symptomatic and adequate treatment with basic neurological and Neurosurgical disease in most patients, symptoms disappear within 48-72 hours
