Background
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common disorder that is complicated by multiple respiratory abnormalities, including upper airway obstruction (UAO).1 To our knowledge, negative pressure pulmonary edema (NPPE), a noncardiogenic pulmonary edema induced by the generation of high negative intrathoracic pressure needed to overcome UAO,2 has not been reported in patients with PD. We report the first case of NPPE after general anesthesia in a patient with PD.
