Abstract:
:The authors report the case of a 17 year-old female patient who presented acute ascending polyneuritis of the Landry-Guillain-Barré type extending to all cranial nerve pairs during the abatement of hepatitis of unspecified etiology. The patient remained in a state of coma vigil for five days prior to gradual but full recovery over a six-month period. The patient was given respiratory assistance for 55 days, together with corticosteroid therapy and above all plasmapheresis. After five weeks of treatment a transient late papilledema was noted for about six weeks. The authors discuss the diagnostic criteria of the Guillain-Barré-Strohl syndrome, its etiology, the possibility of central nerve involvement and late papilledema. Treatment with corticosteroids and plasmapheresis is also discussed.
