[Pulmonary edema following generalized peritonitis in a 4-year-old child].
Following a recent case of adult-type respiratory distress syndrome in a four-year old child, the rare occurrence of this pathology in visceral paediatric surgery is recalled. The few published cases do not allow a comparison of the mortality in paediatric and adult patients. The treatment is discussed, as well as the results of pulmonary function tests performed some time after the acute pulmonary episode.
