Le syndrome post-réanimation est une entité définie en 2010 et regroupant les séquelles consécutives à un séjour prolongé en réanimation. Il inclut des troubles psychiques, cognitifs et physiques (neuromyopathie, atteinte respiratoire, enraidissement articulaire, entre autres). Ces séquelles ont un important retentissement sur la qualité de vie et l'autonomie des patients, ainsi que sur leur consommation de soin et sur la mortalité. Les séquelles psychologiques peuvent également être constatées chez les proches des patients hospitalisés. L'organisation du dépistage et de la prise en charge de ces troubles est de plus en plus fréquente mais aucune méthode n'a formellement fait la preuve de son efficacité. Le nombre de patients survivant à la réanimation continue d'augmenter, et la prise en charge du syndrome post-réanimation est un enjeu majeur. Il semble important que l'interniste, par sa polyvalence et son implication fréquente dans la prise en charge des patients après la réanimation, connaisse ce syndrome. Post-intensive care syndrome is an entity defined in 2010 and covering any sequelae following an extended hospitalization in intensive care unit. It comprises psychological, cognitive and physical disorders (neuromyopathy, respiratory dysfunction, joint stiffness, among others). These sequelae have important consequences on autonomy and quality of life of these patients, as well as on their healthcare consumption and on mortality. Psychological sequelae can also be seen in hospitalized patients' relatives. Screening and management of these disorders is more and more frequent but no method has formally proven effective. The number of patients surviving an intensive care unit hospitalization is increasing, and management of post-intensive care syndrome is a major issue. It seems important that the internist be aware of this syndrome, given his pivotal role in global management of patients and frequent implication into care after the intensive care unit.

Abstract: Hashimoto''s encephalopathy was first described by Lord Brain in 1966. Since, other designations have been proposed and the existence of the disease itself has been debated. However, the number of reported cases in the literature is still increasing and physicians are sometimes confronted with patients with neuropsychiatric manifestations and positive thyroid antibodies. This article is an update based upon a search through Medline database that identified 316 references published between 1961 and 2011. Hashimoto''s encephalopathy is a rare condition for which there is a need for both diagnostic criteria and therapeutic consensus. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
