A case of a 44-year-old woman presenting pulmonary edema secondary to posterior fossa meningioma is reported. The authors have tried to demonstrate the relationship between a lesion occupying space in the posterior fossa and important pulmonary abnormality such as interstitial edema based on increasing A-aDO2 (oxygen alveolar arterial gradient) in this peculiar case. A-aDO2 is easily measured and represents a good guide for evaluating the efficiency of medical and neurosurgical management when it is done in the serial way, particularly in those cases of non cardiogenic pulmonary edema.
报告了一例44岁女性因后颅窝脑膜瘤继发肺水肿的病例。基于该特殊病例中肺泡动脉血氧分压差（A-aDO2）升高，作者试图证明后颅窝占位性病变与重要的肺部异常（如间质性水肿）之间的关系。A-aDO2易于测量，以连续方式测量时，它是评估内科和神经外科治疗效果的良好指标，尤其是在那些非心源性肺水肿的病例中。
