RESUMO
Pulmonary edema after relief of airway obstruction due to laryngospasm is an uncommon but recognized entity. The authors report a case of a previously healthy young man who developed pulmonary edema after relief of laryngospasm following extubation of the trachea. Pulmonary edema after relief of acute airway obstruction should be included in the differential diagnosis of noncardiogenic pulmonary edema in the appropriate clinical setting.

The third known case of a pneumocele of the maxillary sinus is reported. Radiographic findings included hyperlucency of a maxillary sinus with generalized expansion of its borders. Bone dehiscence was also visible with tomography. The present case emphasizes a gradual onset of clinical signs and manifested primarily by proptosis. Possible mechanisms in the production of this deformity are discussed.
