Abstract

Guillan Barre Syndrome is the most common acute, immune-mediated demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy. Guillan Barre Syndrome is divided into subtypes based on clinical and electrophysiological findings. Acute axonal motor neuropathy, one of these subtypes, is very rare in children. In this study, we present a sixteen-year-old male patient with a diagnosis of acute axonal motor neuropathy, who presented with numbness in his feet and hands, inability to close his eyes fully, slurred speech, and inability to whistle, and hyperreflexia was found in his physical examination.

Özet

Guillan Barre Sendromu en sık görülen akut, immün aracılı demiyelinizan poliradikulonöropatidir. Guillan Barre Sendromu klinik ve elektrofizyolojik bulgularına göre alt türlere ayrılır. Bu alt türlerden birisi olan akut aksonal motor nöropati çocuklarda çok nadir görülür. Bu çalışmada ayaklarında ve ellerinde uyuşma, gözlerini tam olarak kapatamama, peltek konuşma, ıslık çalamama şikâyeti ile başvuran ve fizik muayenesinde hiperrefleksi saptanan akut aksonal motor nöropati tanılı on altı yaşındaki erkek olguyu sunuyoruz.
