Working Impression

Acute post- Rubeola poly radiculoneuropathy (Guillain-Barre Syndrome) with impending respiratory failure

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

Θ Landry's ascending paralysis, French

polio, acute idiopathic polyneuritis, or acute idiopathic polyradiculoneuritis

Θ French physician Jean Landry had

described the condition in 1859

Θ Named for Georges Guillain and Jean Alexandre Barre: increased level of protein with normal cell count in cerebrospinal fluid (1916)

DEFINITION

An acute, immune-mediated disorder of peripheral nerves, spinal roots, and cranial nerves, commonly presenting as a rapidly progressive, areflexive, relatively symmetric ascending weakness of the limb, truncal, respiratory, pharyngeal, and facial musculature, with variable sensory and autonomic dysfunction

What’s new in Guillain-Barré syndrome? J Pritchard; Dr Jane Pritchard, Neurology Specialist Registrar, The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, Queen Square, London; WC1N 3BG, UK; jpritchard@doctors.org.uk

DIAGNOSTIC CRITERIAFeatures required for diagnosis

Progressive weakness in both arms and legsAreflexia

Features strongly supporting diagnosisProgression of symptoms over days, up to four weeksRelative symmetry of symptomsMild sensory symptoms or signsCranial nerve involvement, especially bilateral weakness of facial musclesRecovery beginning two to four weeks after progression ceasesAutonomic dysfunctionAbsence of fever at onsetHigh concentration of protein in cerebrospinal fluid, with fewer than 10 cells per cubic millimeterTypical electrodiagnostic features

Features excluding diagnosisDiagnosis of botulism, myasthenia, poliomyelitis, or toxic neuropathyAbnormal porphyrin metabolismRecent diphtheriaPurely sensory syndrome, without weakness

Annual incidence globally is 0.5 - 1.5 cases per 100,000 population per year < 18 years old. Youngest recorded patient: 2 years old,male predominance. Axonal type in Asians.

From the Philippine Pediatric Society Registry: 168 GBS patients have been reported from a total of 992, 341 cases

From the Philippine Children’s Medical Center: 120 patients have been seen from 1995 to June 2011

Polyneuropathy

ΘActivation of anti-GQ1b and anti-GT1a antibodies that target oculomotor and bulbar nerves

ΘThe presynaptic nerve terminal axons and perisynaptic Schwann cells are damaged

FISHER’S SYNDROME

ΘThe pathology resembles that in AMAN, with the same pattern of macrophage invasion of the perinodal space

ΘThe dorsal, as well as the ventral, roots are affected

ΘThere is the same paucity of lymphocytic inflammation consistent with an antibody-mediated pathogenesis

AmSanAcute Motor Sensory Axonal Neuropathy

Θ Macrophages invade the nodes of Ranvier, where they insert between the axon and the surrounding Schwann cell axolemma, leaving the myelin sheath intact

Θ Severe: axons are damaged in the ventral root, which may cause severe degeneration of the whole axon

Strong evidence supports

PE recommended in nonambulant patients within 4 weeks of onset of neuropathic symptoms(Level A*, Class II**)

IVIG recommended in non ambulant patients within 2 weeks of onset of neuropathic symptoms(Level A, Class II)

Sequential treatment with PE followed by IVIG does not have a greater effect than either treatment given alone (Level A, Class I)

Steroids not recommended in the treatment of GBS (Level A, Class I)

NeurophysiologyNCVAmplitudes of sensory nerve action potentials (SNAPs) evoked on antidromic stimulation of the left median, left ulnar, left radial, right and left (bilateral) sural nerves were normal. Distal sensory latencies were normal.Sensory nerve conduction velocities(NCVs) were normal.

No compound muscle action potentials (CMAPs) were evoked on proximal stimulation of right peroneal tibial nerve. Amplitude of the CMAPs evoked on stimulation of the left medial, left ulnar and bilateral peroneal nerves were severely reduced. Temporal dispersion was appreciated Motor latencies were generally prolongedMotor NCVs of the left median and left ulnar and right peroneal nerves were normal. Distal and proximal motor NCVs of the left peroneal nerve were normal and mildly slowed, respectively. Motor NCV of the left tibial nerve was mildly slowed
