Encephalopathy due to capillary leak syndrome.
[systemic capillary leak syndrome]
Systemic
capillary
leak
syndrome
(
SCLS
)
is
characterized
by
intermittent
attacks
of
leakage
of
intravascular
fluids
into
the
extravascular
space
.
Hypovolemia
,
hemoconcentration
,
weakness
,
edema
,
and
visceral
congestion
are
resulting
manifestations
of
SCLS
.
Most
patients
with
SCLS
have
clear
mentation
during
attacks
,
and
encephalopathy
is
not
a
known
manifestation
of
the
syndrome
.
We
report
a
patient
with
acute
idiopathic
capillary
leak
syndrome
manifested
in
an
acute
encephalopathy
.
The
possibility
of
SCLS
should
be
considered
in
patients
who
have
an
encephalopathy
and
hemoconcentration
.
