In suicidal hanging, a death often occurs within minutes. f rescued, most victims later succumb to the respiratory failure secondary to pulmonary edema, bronchopneumonia, delayed airway obstruction, and acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS). Out of these, non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema is likely due to neurogenic factors or negative intrathoracic pressure. A 36-year-old female was brought to the Department of Emergency Medicine after the suicidal hanging attempt. She was unconscious but responsive to painful stimuli. A laryngeal stridor was present. The lung sound of the patient's was dear. Fourteen hours after admission, a chest X-ray showed bilateral diffuse interstitial infiltrates in both lung fields, which was compatible with ARDS. The patient was intubated and placed on a volume respirator with PEEP. She improved over the next 48 hours and a repeat chest X-ray aim showed marked clearing of the infiltrates. We report on the pathophysiologic results of this pulmonary complication and the implication of this finding, regarding the treatment of the patient.

Rett syndrome is progressive neurodegenerative disorder in female patients, characterized by autistic behavior, mental retardation, loss of purposeful hand skills, stereotypic hand movement, breathing dysfunction, severely impaired language, ataxia, and seizure. The diagnosis of Rett syndrome is based on its characteristic clinical manifestation and course. The electroencephalographic (EEG) findings of Rett syndrome are nonspecific, but a progressive deterioration in the EEG, characterized by a slowing of background activity and spike sharp wave discharges, may be observed. We experienced one case of Rett syndrome in a 5 year old girl having mental retardation, loss of purposeful hand skills, stereotypic hand movements (clapping, washing, hand-to-mouth), breathing dysfunction (hyperventilation/apnea). Her EEG findings on Video-EEG monitoring are excessive slowing waves during awake state and frequent spike discharges from left or centrotemporal area during sleeping. We report a case of Rett syndrome with brief review of related literatures.
