Abstract
Acute neurological insult can trigger a cascade of events in other organ systems such as the heart and lung. Neurogenic stunned myocardium (NSM) and Neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE) are mostly reported after stroke, subarachnoid hemorrhage, or seizures whenever sympathetic storm and autonomic dysregulation occurs. We report here for the first time, a case of postoperative infratentorial extradural hematoma in a patient triggering NSM and NPE at the same time. The challenges involved in the management of such a patient are described in this case report. The patient was successfully managed and discharged home with no new neurological deficits.
