Abstract
Key Clinical MessageIn a patient with Parkinson's disease (PD) who underwent spine surgery 13 h after the last anti‐Parkinson medications, negative pressure pulmonary edema from upper airway obstruction developed immediately after extubation. Although oxygenation improved with high‐flow nasal cannula therapy, such complications might develop due to abrupt discontinuation of medication for PD.
