  • Title: Acute intraoperative neurogenic pulmonary edema during endoscopic ventriculoperitoneal shunt revision.
    Author: Davidyuk G, Soriano SG, Goumnerova L, Mizrahi-Arnaud A.
    Journal: Anesth Analg; 2010 Feb 01; 110(2):594-5. PubMed ID: 20081139.
    Abstract:
    We present an incident of fulminant intraoperative neurogenic pulmonary edema in a 21-yr-old man undergoing an endoscopic ventriculoperitoneal shunt revision. His intraoperative course was complicated by intracranial bleeding requiring vigorous saline irrigation, which was accompanied by an acute increase in heart rate and arterial blood pressure. Shortly thereafter, the patient developed pulmonary edema and was promptly treated with resolution of pulmonary symptoms within 24 h. This report addresses the importance of recognition of neurogenic pulmonary edema as a possible intraoperative complication resulting from an increase in intracranial pressure due to hemorrhage and intraventricular irrigation during endoscopic ventriculoperitoneal shunt revision.
