Bilateral Third Nerve Paralysis as a Manifestation of Guillain–Barré Syndrome

International Clinical Neuroscience Journal, Vol. 5 No. 2 (2018), 19 June 2018 , Page 78-80

Abstract

Gullian–Barré syndrome (GBS) is an acute autoimmune polyradiculoneuropathy with many variants and distinct presentations. Although cranial neuropathy is a common feature in GBS, third nerve palsy is a rare presentation. Herein, we describe a case of GBS patient who has presented by acute flaccid quadriparesis coexisting bilateral third nerve palsy. We tried to highlight the importance of other cranial nerve involvement in the natural history of GBS.

Keywords:
  • Gullian–Barré syndrome
  • Third nerve palsy
  • Polyneuropathy.
