[Apropos of a case of lesional pulmonary edema advancing to fibrosis with cartilage metaplasia].
The non-hemodynamic pulmonary oedema by increase alveolo-capillary permeability or Adult Respiratory distress Syndrome (ARDS), has many causes and determine an acute insufficiency respiratory who needed mechanic ventilation. It can above all progressing to interstitial fibrosis after deadly. The writer present lesional pulmonary oedema case which evolved to fibrosis in a 17 old patient. This patient has been operated for duodenal ulcer with bi-vagotomy and antrectomy and presented a post operatory shock. The particularity of this observation is The fibrosis evolution to an cartilaginous metaplasia. The lesional pulmonary oedema has usually serious prognosis because the mortality is from 50 to 80% in the literature review.
