Negative-Pressure Pulmonary Edema After Septoplasty

Abstract: Negative-pressure pulmonary edema is a rare but life-threatening complication of septoplasty seen in the early-postoperative period. The main cause is laryngospasm; often with hypoxia and hemoptysis. In our case, a 36-year-old septoplasty recipient developed symptoms of hypotension, tachycardia and low oxygen saturation 3 hours after extubation. The patient was diagnosed with negative-pressure pulmonary edema. Treatment was applied with noninvasive positive pressure ventilation and diuretics. It should be note… Show more

“…NPPE develops after forced inspiratory efforts against simultaneously closed airways [ 2 ]. Several cases of this rare condition have been reported, however generally focusing on the underlying comorbidities [ 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ] and not on the imaging findings. As many cases of NPPE are estimated to be undiagnosed due to a lack of familiarity with the syndrome and may therefore end fatally [ 9 ], we want to emphasize the contribution of imaging findings to this differential diagnosis.…”
