PROGNOSIS OF GUILLAIN-BARRE SYNDROME IN CHILDREN

Pages

  38-41

Abstract

 Objective GUILLAIN-BARRE Syndrome (GBS) is an acute poly radiculoneuropathy characterized by progressive motor weakness of limbs and areflexia. In this study, our aim was to evaluate the clinical pattern and PROGNOSIS of CHILDREN with GUILLAIN-BARRE syndrome.Materials& Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted in the Pediatric Neurology Unit of Amirkola CHILDREN’s Hospital, Babol, Iran during the period of 5 years from October 2008 to September 2013. We assessed the clinical features, results of electro diagnostic tests, functional status, treatment and outcome of 17 CHILDREN diagnosed with GBS.Results Of 17 (male to female ratio=1.6: 1) CHILDREN studied, all had motor weakness, 4 CHILDREN (23.5 %) and cranial nerve palsies. Respiratory paralysis was found in one child requiring assisted ventilation. Antecedent illness preceding GBS was recorded in 7 (41.2%) CHILDREN. The GBS subtype distribution as per electro diagnostic studies was as follows: acute inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (AIDP) in 12 (70.6%) acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN) in 3 (17.6%), acute motor sensory axonal neuropathy (AMSAN) in 2 (11.8%). IVIG constituted the treatment given in all of the patients. Complete recovery was observed in 16 CHILDREN and the remaining one child was dependent to wheelchair.Conclusion GBS in CHILDREN is not poor prognostic disorder and our recommendation is administration of IVIG as soon as possible after clinical diagnosis. Except for one child who remained wheelchair bound, there was no mortality or morbidity in long-term observation. Besides, strong limitation of our study was the low number of subjects.
