Heat stress results in multiorgan failure and CNS injury. There a few case reports in the literature on the neurological consequences of heat stress.
We describe a patient with heat stress presenting with encephalopathy and bilateral cerebral, cerebellar, and thalamic lesions and intraventricular hemorrhage on MRI.
Heat stress should be in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with encephalopathy and elevated serum inflammatory markers especially if the history suggests a preceding episode of hyperthermia.
热应激可导致多器官衰竭和中枢神经系统损伤。文献中有少数关于热应激导致的神经系统后果的病例报告。
我们描述了 1 例热应激患者，其表现为脑病和双侧大脑、小脑和丘脑病变，以及 MRI 上的脑室出血。
热应激应列入出现脑病和血清炎症标志物升高的患者的鉴别诊断中，特别是如果病史提示之前有过热应激发作。
