- Abstract
We report a case of neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE) caused by middle cerebral artery infarction involving the right insular cortex. Hyperactivity of the insular cortex, which regulates sympathetic function, can cause NPE. The NPE should be considered in the differential diagnosis of dyspneic patients with insular cortex infarction. Cerebral infarction involving insular cortex can cause neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE). The NPE should be considered in the differential diagnosis of dyspneic patients with cerebral infarction involving the insular cortex.
