Demyelinating Disorders

Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) and multiple sclerosis (MS) are autoimmune demyelinating disorders of the peripheral and central nervous systems, respectively. The co-occurrence of these 2 conditions is rare in the literature. Herein, we present a rare case of GBS and MS in a 19-year-old female who presented initially with GBS followed by MS, and we provide a literature review. Despite being rare, it should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of patients with atypical and usual presentation of both diseases.

This chapter begins by outlining the origin of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). It looks at the epidemiology and antecedent events. It also considers clinical manifestations. The classic clinical scenario is one of acute, symmetric, progressive, ascending weakness, and areflexia, with or without sensory symptoms days to weeks after a preceding infection. Next differential diagnosis is examined. The differential diagnosis of GBS is quite broad and includes disorders leading to sudden onset of weakness. The general pattern of clinical involvement and medical history helps to hone the differential. Finally, the chapter looks at management of the syndrome and treatment options for various different groups, such as immune therapy.

Typical Skin

Nervous system Lyme disease and Guillain-Barré syndrome are common neurological conditions that may present with unusual symptoms rendering differential diagnosis difficult. We report the case of a 62-year-old woman presenting with asymmetrical tetraparesis and hyporeflexia. Initially the presumed diagnosis of Guillain-Barré syndrome with a possible functional component was suspected and treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin was initiated. Due to partial response to therapy and further test results including positive serologies and cerebrospinal fluid antibodies for Borrelia, the diagnosis of neuroborreliosis was considered. Further exploring revealed the possibility of exposure to ticks although there was no report of typical skin lesions. Daily physical therapy and appropriate antibiotic treatment with parenteral ceftriaxone resulted in significant improvement of motor symptoms and functional status. The patient was discharged with marked functional improvement and indication for further physical rehabilitation.

Guillain Barré

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an immune-mediated polyneuropathy classically thought to be caused by infections through the process of molecular mimicry. We report a case of GBS caused by intracerebral haemorrhage and postulate potential theories for the development of GBS following intracerebral haemorrhage and other non-infectious aetiologies by association. We highlight that GBS is an important differential diagnosis in patients developing generalised paresis following intracerebral haemorrhage.
