TL;DR
Both global and focal derangements occurred, and in survivors, early regional EEG abnormalities—especially those in the occipital and temporal areas—were prognostically useful.
Abstract
Involvement of the central nervous system (CNS) is found in around 30% of children with haemolytic-uraemic syndrome (HUS). This complication is the single most common cause of mortality and also a major contributor to the morbidity associated with HUS. We reviewed 22 children with HUS and acute CNS involvement. Both global and focal derangements occurred, and in survivors, early regional EEG abnormalities-especially those in the occipital and temporal areas-were prognostically useful.

In those children with neurological involvement, there was a higher incidence of residual hypertension, chronic renal damage, and death, suggesting that central nervous system involvement indicates severe hemolytic‐uremic syndrome.

It is suggested that other mechanisms for CNS disease may exist in addition to direct toxin insult, and the association of clinical and laboratory variables with the development of neurological disease is studied.

To define the CNS manifestations of the hemolytic-uremic syndrome, the records of 61 consecutive episodes of HUS in 60 patients were reviewed and major CNS signs (seizures and/or coma) occurred in 30 of the 61 episodes.

The severity of systemic involvement was associated with the magnitude of renal compromise and the prognosis of the acute phase, and large bowel pathology was the commonest, followed by the central nervous system, the heart and the pancreas.

The EEG results of 11 children, ages 1–15 years, who presented with hemolytic‐uremic syndrome complicated by seizures 3–10 days after the prodrome were studied, and in four children who experienced generalized tonic‐clonic seizures, the EEGs demonstrated diffuse delta slowing with no focality.

In the region of the Intermountain West, HUS in adolescents closely resembles that seen in children and the outcome is more favorable than that experienced by adults.

This patient illustrates the role of continuous electrophysiologic monitoring of cerebral function and supports the use of fresh frozen plasma in hemolytic-uremic syndrome.
