Pediatric neuroinflammatory diseases in the intensive care unit

Kristen S Fisher et al. Semin Pediatr Neurol. 2024 Apr.

Abstract

Inflammatory disorders of the central nervous system (CNS) include a wide spectrum of autoimmune, autoinflammatory, and paraneoplastic diseases. While many affected patients require acute hospital admission, a subset may present with severe neurological symptoms requiring intensive care unit (ICU) escalation due to disordered consciousness, respiratory failure, status epilepticus, intracranial hypertension, and/or severe autonomic dysregulation.

Keywords: Pediatric Autoimmune Neurology; Pediatric Neurocritical Care; Pediatric Neuroimmunology; Pediatric Neuroinflammatory diseases.
