Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) is an acute inflammatory polyradiculoneuropathy which can lead to rapid neuromuscular respiratory failure, with an estimated annual incidence of 1-2 per 100,000 person-years. Even though cranial nerve involvement is known to occur in GBS, radiological correlation on neuroimaging studies are less frequently reported in pediatric population. We hereby report the case of a 14-year-old boy with acute motor axonal neuropathy variant of GBS, who had extensive contrast enhancement of multiple cranial nerves on Magnetic Resonance Imaging brain, associated with clinicoradiological dissociation on presentation.
格林-巴利综合征(GBS)是一种急性炎症性多神经根神经病,可导致快速发生的神经肌肉呼吸衰竭,估计其年发病率为每 10 万人中有 1-2 例。尽管已知 GBS 可累及颅神经,但在儿科人群中,神经影像学研究的放射学相关性报道较少。在此,我们报告了一例 14 岁男孩患有急性运动轴索性神经病型 GBS,其磁共振成像脑显示多个颅神经广泛对比增强,与临床表现的临床放射学分离有关。
