Electrophysiological Subtypes and Prognostic Factors of Guillain-Barre Syndrome in Northern China
Conclusion: AMAN is still the most common subtype of GBS in northern China. A decline in dCMAP amplitude is predictive factor of a slow recovery and poor outcome of GBS. Diarrhea and CBs may be the factors for better short-term prognosis in AMAN patients in Northern China.

Neurological Involvement in Primary Systemic Vasculitis
Conclusion Neurological involvement is a common complication of PSV (Table 1), and neurologists play an important role in the identification and diagnosis of PSV patients with otherwise unexplained neurological symptoms as their chief complaint. This article summarizes the neurological manifestations of PSV and hopes to improve neuroscientists' understanding of this broad range of diseases. TABLE 1 Table 1. Common CNS and PNS involvements of primary systemic vasculitis. Author Contributions SZ conceived the article and wrote the manuscript. DY and GT reviewed and edited the manuscript. All authors ...

Guillain-Barré syndrome as a complication of hypertensive basal ganglia haemorrhage
We present a case of a 70-year-old hypertensive woman who developed global weakness, eventually becoming quadriplegic, during an inpatient stay for treatment of a basal ganglia haemorrhagic stroke. Guillain-Barré syndrome was confirmed and treatment initiated. She responded well to intravenous immunoglobulin treatment and then subsequently continued with rehabilitation.There have been a few case reports of GBS as a complication of spontaneous intracranial haemorrhage (ICH) or traumatic brain injury. It may not be a coincidence that our patient developed GBS shortly after presentation. There may be an immunological explana...

Hypertrophic olivary degeneration : Cause of new neurological symptoms after stroke.
CONCLUSION: Analysis of the dataset provided confirmation of the results in the literature that lesions within the Guillain-Mollaret triangle more often lead to HOD. Patients with corresponding symptoms should be closely observed over time with respect to the occurrence of corresponding clinical and imaging leading symptoms. Even though the named clinical symptoms are characteristic for HOD, in many cases the diagnosis is hampered and delayed by imprecise examination and misinterpretation of the symptoms. A logopedic examination using FEES in this collective often provided indicative information. Currently, no reliable dat...

Improvement During Inpatient Rehabilitation Among Older Adults With Guillain-Barré Syndrome, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson Disease, and Stroke
Conclusions Patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson disease, and stroke should improve during inpatient rehabilitation but anticipated outcomes for patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome should be even higher.

Modern principles of neurocritical care.
Abstract Neurological diseases frequently demanding admittance to a dedicated neurological intensive care unit (neurocritical care) comprise space-occupying ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, traumatic brain injury, status epilepticus, bacterial meningitis, myasthenic crisis and Guillain-Barré syndrome. Due to often necessary analgesia, sedation and mechanical ventilation, neuromonitoring should ideally be employed. This consists of bedside invasive and non-invasive methods for monitoring cerebral perfusion, oxygenation, metabolism and neurophysiology. Modern treatment principles...

Safety of Therapeutic Plasma Exchange for the Treatment of Guillain-Barré Syndrome in Polycythemia Vera
Polycythemia vera (PV) is a risk factor for systemic thromboses and ischemic stroke. This has been attributed to blood hyperviscosity, the result of increased blood cell production. Intravenous immunoglobulin, which is indicated for the treatment of numerous hematologic and neurological conditions also causes increased serum viscosity and has been associated with ischemic strokes in the setting of PV. Here we report a case of a 70-year-old man with prior stroke and PV who developed Guillain-Barré syndrome, an acute inflammatory demyelinating disorder of peripheral nerves causing ascending paresis, numbness, and paresthesi...

Autonomic dysfunction in the neurological intensive care unit
AbstractAutonomic dysfunction is common in neuro-critical care patients and may compromise the function of various organs. Among the many diseases causing or being associated with autonomic dysfunction are traumatic brain injury, cerebrovascular diseases, epilepsy, Guillain –Barré syndrome (GBS), alcohol withdrawal syndrome, botulism and tetanus, among many others. Autonomic dysfunction may afflict various organs and may involve hyper- or hypo-activity of the sympathetic or parasympathetic system. In this short overview, we address only a small number of neuro-inten sive care diseases with autonomic dysfunction. In GBS,...

Cerebral vasculitis and lateral rectus palsy – two rare central nervous system complications of dengue fever: two case reports and review of the literature
ConclusionsCentral nervous system vasculitis due to dengue infection is a very rare phenomenon, and to the best of our knowledge, only one case of central nervous system vasculitis has been reported to date, in a patient of pediatric age. Cranial nerve palsy related to dengue infection is also rare, and only a few cases of isolated abducens nerve palsy have been reported to date. The two cases described in this report illustrate the rare but important central nervous system manifestations of dengue fever and support the fact that the central nervous system is one of the important systems that can be affected in patients with dengue infection.

Guillain-Barr é syndrome following varicella-zoster virus infection
We describe the frequency, clinical features, and electrophysiological and immunological phenotypes of Guillain-Barr é Syndrome (GBS) patients treated at a single institution in Bangladesh who had preceding chicken pox (primary Varicella-zoster virus [VZV] infection) within 4 weeks of GBS onset. A literature review of GBS cases preceding VZV infection is also provided. Diagnosis of GBS was based on the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke criteria for GBS. Serum anti-VZV IgM and IgG antibodies were quantified by indirect chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA); anti-Campylobacter jejuni IgG, IgM, and IgA ...

Comparison of a portable device versus a specific spirometer for cough flow testing
Conclusions: In this evaluation, including patients with heterogeneous disorders and normal controls, CPF readings were on average significantly higher when measured using the equipment with the CPF testing dedicated software; moreover this device allows for a better assessment of the cough maneuvers including visualization of the cough flow-volume loops.

New spectrum of the neurologic consequences of Zika
Zika virus infection represents a new neuropathological agent with association to a wide spectrum of neurological complications: a) Congenital Zika Syndrome by affecting the neural stem cells of the human fetal brain; b) Guillain-Barr é Syndrome by an autoimmune response against peripheral myelin and/or axonal components or probable direct inflammatory reaction; c) Encephalitis/meningoencephalitis and myelitis by a direct viral inflammatory process on the central nervous system; d) Sensory neuropathy by infecting directly the pe ripheral neurons and causing substantial cell death and pathogenic transcriptional dysregulati...

Teaching NeuroImages: Bilateral hypertrophic olivary degeneration following posterior circulation stroke
A 40-year-old comatose man was brought to the hospital with a history of posterior circulation stroke 4 months earlier due to hypertension. On examination, he had spastic quadriplegia, bilateral extensor plantar reflex, and palatal myoclonus. MRI revealed enlarged olives (figure 1) and chronic infarcts involving midbrain and pons (figure 2) suggestive of hypertrophic olivary degeneration seen after 4 months of insult. Hypertrophic olivary degeneration is a transsynaptic degeneration involving interconnecting fibers of inferior olivary nucleus, red nucleus, and contralateral dentate nucleus forming the 3 corners of the Guil...

ZIKA vasculitis: A new cause of stroke in children?
Viral infectious vasculitis is a cause of stroke in children. Zika virus infection is often asymptomatic. Neurological complications have however been reported: Guillain-Barr é, ADEM, meningoencephalitis, myelitis, microcephaly in the fetus of infected mothers. We discuss the case of a child presenting acute infection with ZIKV that was associated with a stroke. A 10-months-old boy without medical history presented after 2days of fever and cutaneous rash, conjunctivitis on day 5, a right hemiparesis on day 6.
