Multiple cranial nerve dysfunction can occur with primary intracranial processes (neoplasm, basilarvertebral insufficiency, congenital defects, aneurysms, dural vein thrombosis, multiple sclerosis), myopathy or neuromuscular junction disorder (myasthenia gravis, botulism, orbital 'myositis', ocular myopathy), and as a manifestation of a more systemic disorder (sarcoidosis, endocrinopathy, conne...

Objective: After the poliomyelitis eradicated, Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) is most common cause of acute flaccid paralysis in healthy child. It one neuromuscular disorders required treatment to pediatric intensive care unit. Aim this study present three-year’s experience caring for patients with GBS admitted PICU university hospital. Materials and Methods: Patients who were diagnosed between ...

Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is a sudden and complicated degenerative neurological disorder which can be acute or chronic in nature. Etiology remains unclear, but pathophysiology shows demyelination of spinal nerve roots characterised by symmetrical limb weakness muscle stiffness. Death rare. Early diagnosis prompt treatment should occur severe cases. Here we discuss rare case GBS as paraesthe...

OBJECTIVE Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is an immune-mediated polyneuropathy that occurs mostly after prior infection. The diagnosis of this syndrome is dependent heavily on the history and examination, although cerebrospinal fluid analysis and electrodiagnostic testing usually confirm the diagnosis. This is a retrospective study which was performed to investigate the atypical features of GBS. ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the frequency of phrenic nerve abnormalities in Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS), and evaluate the value of phrenic nerve conduction studies in predicting ventilation failure. METHODS During a study period of one year between July 2008 and July 2009, 28 GBS patients referred to our tertiary university hospital (Alzahra Hospital, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfa...

neurological signs and symptoms are commonly associated with both hodgkin’s and non-hodgkin’s lymphoma and are mostly attributed to either direct lymphomatous involvement of the nervous system, either as a result of extension to the spinal cord or nerves, or due to infiltration by lymphoma cells and drug toxicity. guillain-barre syndrome and its variants have been reported very infrequently in ...

BACKGROUND Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is an acute immune-mediated peripheral neuropathy usually after an incident. This study was performed to investigate the basic epidemiologic features of GBS in south of Iran. METHODS We studied consecutive patients with GBS in Nemazi Hospital of Shiraz, southern Iran. Demographic characteristics of the subjects, i.e. age, sex, and length of hospital st...

objective guillain-barre syndrome (gbs) is the most common cause of acute neuromuscular paralysis in children, its pathogenesis most probably involving an autoimmune response to schwann cell or peripheral nerve myelin antigens. steroid regimes improve demyelinating diseases such as chronic gbs. we assessed the benefit of high dose methylprednisolone (mp) combined with intravenous immunoglobulin...

We discuss two of the most common of the acquired inflammatory neuropathies: Guillain-Barre syndrome and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, as well as their variants. We review their clinical presentation, electrophysiologic findings, and management, highlighting knowledge gained from the recent literature. Unfortunately, although treatments exist for both Guillain-Barre syndrom...

We report an unusual case of Guillain-Barre syndrome in a 36-year old gentleman, diagnosed based on clinical presentation, CSF analysis and nerve study tests findings, who presented to our department for elective cystoscopy and discovered at the day of surgery to have macular skin rash over the trunk and upper limbs, surgery was postponed. Then and after 12 hours he started to develop the class...
