High-Altitude Pulmonary Edema Combined with Spontaneous Pneumomediastinum : A Case Report
Copyright© Bentham Science Publishers; For any queries, please email at epubbenthamscience.net..
Background: High-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) is a serious life-threatening disease that occurs after rapid ascent to high altitude; its main early-stage presentations include fatigue, headache, low-grade fever, dyspnea, and cough. X-ray and computed tomography (CT) images show pulmonary shadows and patches, which may be localized (initial right lung field predomination) or generalized to the bilateral lung base.
Case Presentation: In this report, we present a case of a 25-year-old man diagnosed with HAPE combined with spontaneous pneumomediastinum. After a quick descent and effective medical treatment, this patient made a full recovery. The case may provide helpful information for the prevention and treatment of this disease since an increased number of people, especially young men, currently travel and work at high altitudes.
Conclusion: After accurate clinical diagnosis with the help of CT or X-ray, immediate descent and appropriate oxygen supplementation are the most effective treatments for HAPE at high altitude.
