ABSTRACT
Laryngeal mask airway [LMA] has established itself as a reliable mode of maintaining a patent airway; however, it is associated with a few complications. This case report describes the presentation, diagnosis, management and treatment of an unusual complication associated with the use of LMA, that is postobstructive pulmonary edema [POPE], which is a potentially life-threatening complication of acute airway obstruction. It develops rapidly but responds quickly to the therapy
