Abstract
A case of neurogenic pulmonary edema following a grand mal epileptic seizure is presented. This condition is rather rare and the exact pathophysiology remains unknown, but it is believed that the event may be related to transitional increase of intracranial pressure during seizure attack. Pulmonary edema may be a serious complication of epileptic seizure. Rapid recognition and management is very important since the prognosis depends on the severity of pulmonary edema and appropriate treatment.
