The acute inflammatory demyelinating @entity305 ( @entity5011 ) might have a severe presentation but a good prognosis in @entity1 . It is an immune-mediated and inflammatory @entity1897 . This retrospective study observed that @entity5011 is frequently complicated by @entity101 and other @entity4148 . @entity65 is due to the involvement of the autonomic nervous system and results in labile blood pressure, @entity943 and @entity3485 . During a 13-year period (1982-1995), 21 @entity1 were admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit of S  o Lucas Hospital, Porto Alegre, south of Brazil. Eight @entity1 were mechanically ventilated. Symptoms of autonomic disturbance were frequently seen, especially in @entity1 with severe clinical evolution. Previous investigations of the mechanism of @entity101 associated with @entity5011 did not evaluate the etiology of these phenomena. With modern pediatric intensive care support the deaths are rare. There is no death in this studied group.
