Neurogenic pulmonary edema following seizures: A retrospective computed tomography study.

Introduction: Data on the frequency and clinical relevance of neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE) following epileptic seizures are limited. The aim of the present study was to analyze computed tomography (CT) examinations in patients with previous seizures.

Method: Incidence of NPE and related clinical factors were retrospectively assessed in patients admitted because of epileptic seizures who underwent thoracic CT imaging as part of emergency diagnostics.
