A case of acute neurogenic pulmonary oedema following a generalized tonic clonic seizure is presented. The condition is rare and the exact pathophysiology is unknown. Pulmonary oedema is a serious complication of epileptic seizures, however, and the importance of awareness of this condition and its treatment is emphasized by a high mortality rate in older epileptics and by the demonstration of pulmonary oedema in recent series of young epileptics who died suddenly.
本文报告一例全身强直阵挛性癫痫发作后出现急性神经源性肺水肿的病例。这种情况较为罕见，确切的病理生理学尚不清楚。然而，肺水肿是癫痫发作的严重并发症，老年癫痫患者的高死亡率以及近期一系列猝死的年轻癫痫患者中出现肺水肿的情况都强调了认识这种疾病及其治疗的重要性。
