Abstract: This paper examines the symptoms, pathophysiology, genetics, prevention, and treatment of HAPE. It also includes a brief overview on its manifestation in children and the radiographic spectrum of the disease. This review also addresses some of the cases of high-altitude pulmonary edema. High Altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE), is a life-threatening condition where there is fluid accumulated in the lungs. HAPE is a condition where the effects are completely reversible, which is why it is crucial for patients to have adequate and timely treatment. High altitude pulmonary edema, (HAPE), is a non-cardiogenic form of edema that can be life-threatening if not treated properly and promptly.
