[Postictal pulmonary oedema: a review of the literature].
CONCLUSIONS: In postictal pulmonary oedema, generalised tonic-clonic seizures are the most frequently reported type. The most common clinical manifestations were dyspnoea and tachycardia appearing within a few minutes after the seizure. Among the paraclinical findings the most frequent was leukocytosis. In general terms, a good prognosis was found in most cases, with improvement of the oedema within a period of between 12 and 96 hours. Only two of the 21 patients reported died. In addition, in a clinical pathology study in patients with SUDEP, pulmonary oedema appeared in most cases.
