Résumé

L’encéphalite aiguë reste une cause fréquente d’admission en réanimation pédiatrique. Bien que la majorité soit d’origine infectieuse, les encéphalites non infectieuses restent mal connues, leur diagnostic et leur traitement souvent retardés. Nous présentons ici les principales causes d’encéphalites aiguës non infectieuses comme l’encéphalomyélite aiguë disséminée, l’encéphalite liée au syndrome d’activation macrophagique, l’encéphalopathie d’Hashimoto, les encéphalites antirécepteurs de l’acide N-méthyl-D-aspartique (NMDA) et les fever-infection related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES)/devastating epilepsy in school-age children (DESC) syndrome.

Abstract

Acute encephalitis remains a frequent cause of admission in paediatric intensive care units. Although most cases are due to infective causes, non-infectious acute encephalitis is less well known and its diagnosis and treatment are frequently delayed. Hereby we describe the main causes of non-infectious acute encephalitis including acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, macrophage activation syndrome related acute encephalitis, Hashimoto encephalitis, anti-N-Methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor encephalitis and fever-infection related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES)/devastating epilepsy in school-age children (DESC) syndrome.
