Guillain Barré Syndrome, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Acute Intermittent Porphyria - A Deadly Trio.

چکیده
Peripheral nervous system involvement occurs in 3-18% patients of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) cases. American College of Rheumatology (ACR) includes 19 neuropsychiatric syndromes for diagnosis of SLE divided into neurological syndromes of central, peripheral and autonomic nervous systems along with the psychiatric syndromes. Sensorimotor quadriparesis in a suspected case of SLE could be due to a Guillain Barré (GBS)-like illness, mononeuritis multiplex presenting as plexopathies, an anterior spinal artery syndrome or it can present like an acute transverse myelitis or hypokalemic periodic paralysis related to Sjogren's syndrome with renal tubular acidosis. We here report a case of a fulminant quadriparesis due to a SLE flare which subsequently was also found to be a case of Acute Intermittent Porphyria.
