Abstract
Acute fulminating pulmonary edema was developed in 20 year old female following an acute airway obstruction due to a burglary attack on neck with bare hands. The pathogenesis of pulmonary edema is related to the alveolar and capillary damage induced by the severe negative pressure generated by attempting to inspire against the closed upper airway. This female responded to fluid restriction and oxygen supply. To our knowledge, pulmonary edema caused by man has never been reported in the literature.
