The Internet Journal of Anesthesiology, 07/02/09
Vasudevan A et al. - A case of pulmonary edema following laryngospasm in a child with cerebral palsy is reported. Even though the initial presentation was suggestive of negative pressure pulmonary edema, a diagnosis of acute respiratory syndrome was made later.

High degree of clinical suspicion and aggressive management will help improve the outcome in these patients |
