[Negative-pressure pulmonary edema after general anaesthesia. Imaging diagnostic procedure].
Negative-pressure pulmonary edema is not a rare complication, e.g. in general anaesthesia and the diagnosis is made predominantly by clinical findings. When clinical findings are not clear radiology is necessary. This case report with detailed radiologic diagnostics, including follow-up, shows which radiologic signs are important for the clinical assessment to obtain a precise diagnosis and to start an adequate therapy.
