Intracranial Hypertension in Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children

Andrew E Becker et al. J Pediatr. 2021 Jun.

Abstract

Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is characterized by fever and multiorgan system dysfunction. Neurologic complications of MIS-C are not well described. We present 4 patients with MIS-C who had intracranial hypertension and discuss the unique management considerations when this occurs concurrently with significant myocardial dysfunction.

Keywords: COVID-19; PIM-TS; PIMS; SARS-CoV-2; coronavirus disease 2019; increased intracranial pressure; myocardial dysfunction; neurologic dysfunction; pediatric; pediatric critical care.
