巴金森氏症病患手術後呼吸道阻塞引起肺水腫之病例報告

Pulmonary Edema Secondary to the Airway Obstruction in a Patient with Parkinson's Disease

巴金森氏症是一種神經退化性疾病，巴金森氏症病患會有上呼吸道異常及阻塞的情形，呼吸道併發症是造成巴金森氏症病患死亡常見的原因。本病例報告為巴金森氏症病患手術後因上呼吸道阻塞引起肺水腫，並討論病因及治療方式。

Pulmonary edema is a potentially life-threatening complication of acute airway obstruction that develops rapidly without warning in persons who are otherwise well. Respiratory abnormalities have been reported in patients with Parkinson's disease, especially obstructive airway. To our knowledge, pulmonary edema secondary to airway obstruction in patients with Parkinson's disease has not been reported previously. Here, we describe a case of Parkinson's disease complicated with pulmonary edema, and airway obstruction might be the mechanism.
