    AbstractNeurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE) occurs in association with central nervous system disease without underlying cardiopulmonary problems. It is characterized by profound pulmonary vascular congestion and a fulminant clinical course. Although several reports document a role for experimental brain-stem lesions in the production of NPE, there have been only two studies in man correlating specific brain-stem lesions with NPE. The authors report a case of NPE occurring in a patient with von Hippel-Lindau disease and a dorsal medullary syrinx with postoperative dorsal medullary edema. The anatomical location of this patient's lesion is reviewed in the context of alternative theories of the pathogenesis of NPE.
