title: [Pulmonary edema secondary to acute obstruction of the upper airways. Apropos of a case of immediate recovery].
abstract: The AA. inform on the case of a girl, 13, carrying an aortic prosthesis who some hours after the removal of a laryngeal dilator had an asphyctic syndrome during a meal. The emergency being overcome an acute pulmonary edema could be diagnosed without either objective valvular or left ventricular dysfunctions. In spite of the prior heart pathology the reporters belief in the coincidence of the case displayed with a pulmonary edema following the acute obstruction of the upper respiratory tract. They review the proposed physiopathological hypothesis as well as the Spanish literature upon the subject.
