Postoperative neurogenic pulmonary edema in pediatric neurosurgery – clinical presentation and management in 2 cases: A case report

The differing onset and presentations of NPE in these cases underscore potential variations in intracranial pressure dynamics and surgical factors. Early recognition, prompt diagnosis, and immediate intervention are essential for optimal patient outcomes. Pediatric neurosurgical patients require vigilant postoperative monitoring for respiratory complications, particularly in the context of intracranial pressure changes. Strategic intraoperative management and supportive care play a crucial role in improving prognosis.
