Guillian Barre Syndrome (GBS) is associated with cranial nerve involvement. Commonest cranial nerves involved were the facial and bulbar (IXth and Xth). Involvement of twelfth cranial nerve is rare in GBS. We present a case of GBS in a thirteen years old boy who developed severe tongue weakness and wasting at two weeks after the onset of GBS. The wasting and weakness of tongue improved at three months of follow up. Brief review of the literature about XIIth cranial nerve involvement in GBS is discussed.
吉兰-巴雷综合征（GBS）与颅神经受累有关。最常受累的颅神经是面神经和延髓神经（第九和第十对）。在GBS中，第十二对颅神经受累罕见。我们报告一例13岁男孩的GBS病例，该男孩在GBS发病两周后出现严重的舌肌无力和萎缩。随访三个月时，舌部的萎缩和无力有所改善。本文还简要回顾了关于GBS中第十二对颅神经受累的文献。
