Optic neuritis in the Landry-Guillain-Barré-Strohl syndrome.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A patient with typical Landry-Guillain-Barré-Strohl syndrome (LG-BS) developed bilateral optic neuritis. Laboratory studies showed hypersensitivity to both central and peripheral nervous tissue myelin. The occurrence of optic neuritis is presumably due to autohypersensitivity to central nervous tissue myelin. The initial lesions of the LG-BS syndrome in the peripheral nerves might have liberated sequestered antigens that cross-reacted with central nervous system myelin.

Guillain-Barré syndrome: celebrating a century.
A hundred years ago, Guillain, Barré and Strohl described a syndrome with a predominant motor acute or subacute polyneuritis, albumin-cytologic dissociation in the cerebrospinal fluid, and a benign course. Before them, many other authors, such as Landry, Duménil, Osler, and Grainger Stewart had described similar cases although they had not performed lumbar punctures. In this work, we outline ce...
متن کاملGuillain-Barré syndrome with optic neuritis and a focal lesion in the central white matter following Epstein-Barr virus infection.
We report a case of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) accompanied by optic neuritis and a central white matter lesion subsequent to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. A 49-year-old man presented with visual disturbance and hemiparesis one week after developing cold-like symptoms. T2- and diffusion-weighted brain MRI showed a high-signal intensity lesion in the left internal capsule. The patient's ...
متن کاملThe discovery of the Guillain-Barré syndrome and related disorders.
The clinical picture of Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS) was first clearly described by Landry in 1856 [1]. Although he examined the nerves post-mortem, he did not find any abnormalities. The causative inflammation of the peripheral nerves was not identified until Leyden’s description in 1880 [2]. During the second half of the 19th century, confusion continued whether acute ascending paralysis was...
متن کاملVisual Evoked Potentials in Guillain-Barré Syndrome
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an acute demyelinating polyneuropathy with various clinical features. Optic neuritis occurs in rare cases. In this study we determined the incidence and patterns of visual evoked potential (VEP) abnormality in GBS in association with ophthalmologic findings. METHODS Thirty-two patients with a diagnosis of GBS were included in the study. ...
متن کاملImportance of background rates of disease in assessment of vaccine safety during mass immunisation with pandemic H1N1 influenza vaccines.
Because of the advent of a new influenza A H1N1 strain, many countries have begun mass immunisation programmes. Awareness of the background rates of possible adverse events will be a crucial part of assessment of possible vaccine safety concerns and will help to separate legitimate safety concerns from events that are temporally associated with but not caused by vaccination. We identified backg...
