Review[Neural and hemodynamic mechanisms of neurogenic pulmonary edema].
Acute pulmonary edema has been reported in man and animals with intracranial disorders, head trauma or cerebral compression. In anesthetized rats, cerebral compression produced acute, fulminating and fatal lung injury. ⋯ Pulmonary volume loading was the result of drastic decrease in aortic flow accompanying a decline in pulmonary arterial flow. The acute increase in pulmonary blood volume caused severe rises in pulmonary arterial and venous pressures leading to disruption of lung vessels.
