Abstract

We report a patient who suffered negative pressure pulmonary oedema because of tracheal obstruction after cryotherapy to granulation tissue in the trachea. The pathophysiology and clinical course of negative pressure pulmonary oedema is described. Though there are reports of negative pressure pulmonary oedema after airway obstruction, to our knowledge this is the first case reported after cryotherapy.
