BackgroundSince the first description of Hashimoto's Encephalitis (HE) in 1966 by Lord Brain, the number of reported cases has continued to increase. In addition, cases of status epilepticus have been reported, suggesting a role for intensive care unit (ICU) practitioners in taking care of patients with HE.MethodsA retrospective cohort study in ICU patients with HE was performed at the University Hospital of Tours, France.ResultsEight HE cases were admitted to the ICU between 1/1/2000 and 1/1/2012. Herein, we describe the characteristics of the patients, with an emphasis on ICU disease management and its outcome.ConclusionICU practitioners should be aware of this disease, since it can include life-threatening presentations.
