ABSTRACT
Postobstructive pulmonary edema occurs rarely in children. We describe here a child who attempted suicide by hanging and developed postobstructive pulmonary edema and was successfully managed. There was a rapid response to management with morphine and supportive care, enabling extubation by 30 hours of ventilatory support. The case highlights an unusual cause of postobstructive pulmonary edema.
