Negative-pressure pulmonary edema (NPPE) is a non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema caused by a sudden drop in the intrathoracic pressure associated with upper airway obstruction. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) can often be triggered by intense stress and is more common in older women. In this case report, we describe a case of NPPE associated with upper airway obstruction and TCM associated with stress by upper airway obstruction in an 85-year-old woman. When encountering pulmonary edema associated with upper airway obstruction in older adults, the possibility of NPPE and TCM complications should be considered.
负压性肺水肿（NPPE）是一种由上气道梗阻相关的胸腔内压力突然下降引起的非心源性肺水肿。应激性心肌病（TCM）常由强烈应激引发，在老年女性中更为常见。在本病例报告中，我们描述了一名85岁女性因上气道梗阻并发NPPE以及因上气道梗阻应激并发TCM的病例。在遇到老年患者出现与上气道梗阻相关的肺水肿时，应考虑NPPE和TCM并发症的可能性。
