Abstract
We report a patient who suffered negative pressure pulmonary oedema because of tracheal obstruction after cryotherapy to granulation tissue in the tra chea. The pathophysiology and clinical course of negative pressure pulmonar y oedema is described. Though there are reports of negative pressure pulmon ary oedema after airway obstruction, to our knowledge this is the first cas e reported after cryotherapy.
