Burn encephalopathy in children.

D Mohnot, O C Snead, J W Benton

    Annals of Neurology
    |July 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Pediatric burn encephalopathy, characterized by altered sensorium and seizures, affects 5% of children with burns. This condition often arises from complex metabolic and hemodynamic issues, not a single cause.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Neurology
    • Burn Medicine
    • Critical Care

    Background:

    • Burn injuries in children can lead to complex neurological complications.
    • Understanding the incidence and characteristics of burn encephalopathy is crucial for timely intervention.

    Observation:

    • A study of 287 pediatric burn patients identified 13 (5%) with encephalopathy.
    • Key symptoms included altered sensorium and seizures, often manifesting after 48 hours post-burn.
    • Multiple metabolic derangements, such as hypocalcemia, frequently accompanied these neurological signs.

    Findings:

    • Burn encephalopathy in children is likely multifactorial, stemming from combined metabolic, hematological, and hemodynamic disturbances.
    • While some cases showed relapsing courses or temporary ventricular enlargement, 11 out of 13 children recovered fully.

    Implications:

    • This research highlights the need for comprehensive monitoring of metabolic and hemodynamic status in pediatric burn patients.
    • Early recognition and management of these complex abnormalities are vital for improving neurological outcomes in children with severe burns.
