Abstract

Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS) is an acute postinfectious polyneuropathy that causes demyelination in periferic nerves. Clinical signs usually follows a nonspesific viral upper respiratory or gastrointestinal infection by about 1 to 3 weeks. Typical clinical picture is symmetrical muscle weakness that begins in the lower extremities and involves the trunk and upper limps. Diagnosis mostly depends on clinical features and is confirmed by EMG and CSF findings. Patients with slow progression may be followed without treatment. Rapidly progressive ascending paralysis is treated with intravenous immunglobuline (IVIG) and alternatively with plasmapheresis. In this study, 13 GBS cases diagnosed and treated in Istanbul Göztepe Educational Hospital between January 2000 and January 2004 have been overviewed retrospectively.

Özet

Guillain Barre Sendromu (GBS); periferik sinirlere karşı immun cevabın geliştiği, akut monofazik demiyelinizan bir polinöropatidir. Klinik belirtiler çoğunlukla bir üst solunum yolu infeksiyonu veya gastroenteritten bir ile 3 hafta sonra ortaya çıkar. Alt ekstremitelerden başlayarak değişen sürelerde üst ekstremiteye yayılan simetrik güçsüzlük hastalığın karakteristik klinik özelliğidir. Tanı büyük ölçüde klinik bulgulara dayanır; elektrofizyolojik incelemeler ve BOS incelemeleri ile kesinleştirilir. Tedavide hızlı ilerleyen vakalarda plazmaferez kullanılabileceği bildirilse de daha yaygın ve efektif olarak intravenöz immunglobulin (IVIG) kullanılmaktadır. Çalışmamızda Ocak 2000-Ocak 2004 tarihleri arasında İstanbul Göztepe Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi'nde izlemiş olduğumuz 13 GBS vakasının klinik, laboratuvar, tanı ve prognoz özellikleri retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi.
