Sažetak
INTRODUCTION: Neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE) is an acute and serious life threatening form of pulmonary edema caused in most cases by subarachnoid hemorrhage, brain injury or epilepsy. The pathogenesis is not yet fully understood and therefore many researches and review papers on this topic have been published. AIMS: The aim of this SPD is to explain etiology, possible pathophysiology mechanisms, clinical presentation and discuss the im portance of on- time diagnosis and also treatment options of NPE through several conducted studies and case reports. METHODS: PubMed has been searched in order to find the most representative literature. CONCLUSION: We can conclude that the most likely etiopathogenesis mechanisms include activation of sympathetic nervous system and systemic inflammatory response, caused by increased intracranial pressure. Because of its severe consequences, NPE should be recognized on time and treated, as well as the cause of it, as soon as possible. Of course, more researches are needed in order to completely explain this condition.
