Abstract

Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is characterized by fever and multiorgan system dysfunction. Neurologic complications of MIS-C are not well described. We present 4 patients with MIS-C who had intracranial hypertension and discuss the unique management considerations when this occurs concurrently with significant myocardial dysfunction.
