Resumen

Los autores describen un caso de edema pulmonar generalizado que siguió a las pocas horas de una hemorragia subaracnoidea. El cuadro clínico dependiente del edema pulmonar adquirió completo protagonismo por encima del neurológico. Se obtuvo una buena respuesta terapéutica con Furosemida, lo cual permitió el ulterior tratamiento quirúrgico del aneurisma. Los autores hacen una breve revisión sobre el edema pulmonar neurogénico así como de las teorías etiopatogénicas.

Summary

The authors describe a case of generalized pulmonary edema that followed a subarachoid hemorrhage after a few hours. The clinical picture related to the pulmonary edema acquired complete protagonism over that of the neurological. Good therapeutic response was obtained with Furosemide, which permitted later surgical treatment of the aneurysm. Finally, the authors make a brief review of neurogenic pulmonary edema as well as of the pathogenetic theories.
