Abstract

Patients with acute intermittent porphyria attacks present with severeabdominal pain, neuropathy and psychiatric disturbances. Porphyricneuropathy mostly causes confusion in clinical practice, and patientswith porphyria are rarely correctly diagnosed early in the course of theillness. We report a patient with acute intermittent porphyria mimickingGuillain-Barré syndrome with acute onset weakness that rapidlyprogressed to severe quadriplegia.

Özet

Akut aralıklı porfiri atakları olan hastalar şiddetli karın ağrısı, nöropati ve psikiyatrik rahatsızlıklar ile başvururlar. Porfirik nöropati, klinik uygulamada çoğunlukla kafa karışıklığına neden olur ve porfiri olan hastalar hastalığın seyrinde erken dönemde ender olarak doğru teşhis edilir. Bu yazıda, şiddetli kuadriplejiye hızla ilerleyen ve akut başlangıçlı zayıflık gösteren Guillain-Barré sendromunu taklit eden, akut aralıklı porfiri olan bir hastayı sunuyoruz.
