It is thought to be caused by excessive sympathetic stimulation. It is well described in the adult literature associated with subarachnoid hemorrhage where it is known as neurogenic stress cardiomyopathy (NSC), but few such pediatric cases have been reported. We describe our experience with 2 children (13- and 10-year-old girls) who presented with spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage followed by pulmonary edema and shock. Echocardiography revealed similar patterns of left ventricular wall motion abnormalities consistent with NSC, inverted Takotsubo variant. One child progressed to death, whereas the other made a remarkable recovery, including significant improvement in cardiac function over the course of 1 week. We argue that at least 1 of these cases represents true stress-induced cardiomyopathy. This report will alert pediatricians to this transient cardiomyopathy that is likely underdiagnosed in pediatric intensive care. We also highlight the challenges of managing both shock and elevated intracranial pressure in the setting of NSC.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2013-1881","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,9]],"date-time":"2014-09-09T05:14:04Z","timestamp":1410239644000},"page":"e1211-e1217","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Two Pediatric Cases of Variant Neurogenic Stress Cardiomyopathy After Intracranial Hemorrhage"],"prefix":"10.1542","volume":"134","author":[{"given":"Samuel G.","family":"Wittekind","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics,"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ofer","family":"Yanay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Pediatric Critical Care, and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Erin M.","family":"Johnson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics,"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Edward F.","family":"Gibbons","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Division of Cardiology, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"417","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,1]]},"reference":[{"issue":"6","key":"2021120906520358200_B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e420","DOI":"10.1097\/PCC.0b013e3182192944","article-title":"Neurogenic stunned myocardium presenting as left ventricular hypertrabeculation in childhood: a variant of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy?","volume":"12","author":"De Rosa","year":"2011","journal-title":"Pediatr Crit Care Med"},{"issue":"2","key":"2021120906520358200_B2","first-page":"203","article-title":"Myocardial stunning due to simultaneous multivessel coronary spasms: a review of 5 cases [in Japanese]","volume":"21","author":"Dote","year":"1991","journal-title":"J Cardiol"},{"key":"2021120906520358200_B3","unstructured":"Reeder GS, Prasad A.
