Guillain Barre syndrome Guillain Barre Syndrome is a condition in which the nerves break down. This is due to an immune reaction following surgery, infection or immunizations. Have you ever heard of Guillain Barre Syndrome? Guillain Barre Syndrome is a temporary condition which affects the nervous system, the peripheral nerves specically (nerves in the arms and legs). The nerves break down and have damage to them. This is due to a strange immune reaction following surgery, infection or immunizations. Guillain-Barre Syndrome is also called idiopathic polyneuritis. It is an inflammatory disease of the peripheral nerves (those outside the brain and spinal cord) It is characterized by rapid onset of weakness, paralysis of the legs and of the arms, also the face and the breathing muscles. Also, this is a loss of reflexes, such as the knee jerk. There are not very many documented cases of Guillain-Barre Syndrome, and some believe certain individuals are already predisposed, due to genetic defects. The body has a reaction to it's own tissues, like in an autoimmune disease. The symptoms of this disorder are just muscle weakness, usually beginning with the legs and moving to the arms. There also seems to be much unusual tingling senstation associated with the extremity weakness. Symptoms usually start to appear five days to three weeks after an infection, surgery or immunization. Weakness may worsen until it leads to complete paralysis. The paralysis is only temporary. Although many have heard of this condition, it is uncommon. Diagnosis involves a lumbar puncture to check for elevated fluid protein. Diagnosis also involves an electrical nerve test.

Tourette's Syndrome GUILLAIN BARRE SYNDROME WHAT IS GUILLAIN BARRE SYNDROME? Guillain Barre syndrome (GBS) is an acute disorder of the peripheral nerves, and in particular the nerves which supply the muscles, leading to progressive weakness and paralysis including the muscles of the arms and legs, as well as sometimes the respiratory and swallowing muscles. It may be accompanied by some instability and "autonomic" control of things such as blood pressure and heart rate. Some unusual variants of the syndrome can also cause incoordination and double vision (Miller-Fisher variant, sensory and ataxic variants). The condition is monophasic, that is it occurs as an acute condition that worsens and then improves. Although serious and potentially fatal, with the availability of modern intensive care facilities, mortality rate has fallen and most patients make a complete functional recovery.

Next G uillain B arre' S yndrome (Acute Idiopathic Polyneuritis) Guillain-Barré (Ghee-yaw Bah-ray) Syndrome, also called acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy and Landry's ascending paralysis, is a disorder of the peripheral nerves, those outside the brain and spinal cord. It is typically characterized by the rapid onset of muscle weakness and often, paralysis of the legs, arms and breathing muscles. The cause of Guillain-Barre' syndrome is not known; and why the disorder only occurs in certain patients is still not known. Research to date indicates that the nerves of the GBS patient are attacked by the body's own defense system against disease-antibodies and white blood cells. As a result of this autoimmune attack, the nerve insulation (myelin) and sometimes even the covered conducting part of the nerve (axon) is damaged. The rapid onset of (ascending) weakness, frequently accompanied by abnormal sensations and pain that affect both sides of the body similarly, is a common presenting picture, and quite often, the patient's symptoms and physical exam are sufficient to indicate the diagnosis. The severity of Guillain-Barre' syndrome can vary greatly. In its milder form, it may cause a waddling or ducklike gait, and perhaps some tingling and upper limb weakness that may briefly, for days or weeks, impair a patients lifestyle. Some primary care physicians have described patients who complained of mild brief tingling and/or limb weakness accompanying or following a viral illness, such as a sore throat or diarrhea. Such a set of symptoms may represent a very mild form of GBS. In contrast to such mild forms, at the other extreme a GBS patient may become almost totally paralyzed and fraught with complications.

GUILLAIN BARRE SYNDROME (GBS) This is the appearance of normal myelin by electron microscopy using the "freeze-fracture" technique. Note the beautifully delineated layers or lamellae. GBS, also called Acute Post Infective Polyneuritis, is one of the feared complications of vaccinations such as Swine Flu and Pertussis. More often it follows a viral syndrome by a week or two. It is an allergic type reaction wherein antibodies are created by lymphocytes which mistakenly attack the host's peripheral (not central - that is a distinct but analagous disease called Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis - the myelin is different in the CNS versus the PNS, made by oligendrocytes centrally, Schwann cells peripherally) myelin. These are microscopic views of peripheral nerves showing lymphocytic infiltration on the LEFT and fragmentation of myelin on the RIGHT. Guillain Barre may be difficult to diagnose at first. The victim is often young and healthy, complains of tingling in the extremities easily blamed on the high anxiety which is invariably present. The anxiety results from the victim's awareness of progressive paralysis. Doctors are sometimes taught that it begins peripherally and spreads proximally, i.e. from the tips of the feet up the legs but this is simply untrue: GBS often begins in hip flexor or shoulder girdle muscles with subtle impairments of function such as going up or downstairs or raising the arms overhead. Difficult to confirm on individual muscle testing.
