Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is a postinfectious, autoimmune disorder which, apart from limb weakness, is characterised by cranial nerve involvement. Bilateral facial nerve palsy is the most common pattern of cranial nerve involvement in GBS. However, unilateral facial palsy, although uncommon, can be seen in GBS. We report a rare case of unilateral facial palsy in GBS and importance of electrophysiological tests including blink study in such cases has been emphasised.
吉兰-巴雷综合征（GBS）是一种感染后自身免疫性疾病，除肢体无力外，其特征还包括颅神经受累。双侧面神经麻痹是GBS中最常见的颅神经受累模式。然而，单侧面神经麻痹在GBS中虽不常见，但也可见到。我们报告了一例GBS罕见的单侧面神经麻痹病例，并强调了包括眨眼试验在内的电生理检查在此类病例中的重要性。
