We report the case of a 13-year-old child presenting an unusual case of Guillian-Barre Syndrome (SGB). Its presentation is usually a progression of symmetrical muscle weakness that ascends from the lower extremities, moves toward a more proximal pathway, and is accompanied by absent or depressed tendon reflexes. Here, the patient presented with a rare presentation of Pharyngeal-Cervical-Brachial (PCB) variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome, where the symptomatology began with dysphagia and dyspnea, and the weakness was descending paralysis. The objective of this clinical case report is to highlight this extremely rare presentation of PCB variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome.
我们报告了一例13岁儿童患格林-巴利综合征(SGB)的罕见病例。该综合征通常表现为对称性肌肉无力从下肢开始进展,向近端发展,并伴有腱反射消失或减弱。在此病例中,患者呈现出格林-巴利综合征咽颈臂(PCB)变异型的罕见表现,其症状始于吞咽困难和呼吸困难,且肌无力为下行性瘫痪。本临床病例报告的目的是突出格林-巴利综合征PCB变异型这种极其罕见的表现。
