Extractions: Overview Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an inflammatory disorder of the peripheral nerves. The peripheral nerves convey sensory information (e.g., pain, temperature) from the body to the brain and motor (i.e., movement) signals from the brain to the body. GBS is characterized by weakness and numbness or tingling in the legs and arms, and possible loss of movement and feeling in the legs, arms, upper body, and face. Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradicalneuropathy (CIDP), is considered to be a related form of Guillain-Barre syndrome. It is much less common than GBS, and evolves much more slowly and usually is longer lasting. Some CIDP patients experience periods of worsening and improvement, and individual relapses are often confused with GBS.

Also referred to as Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS), is a rapidly progressive ascending paralyzing disorder of the peripheral nerves, those outside the brain and spinal cord. It often follows a gastrointestinal or respiratory infection. An autoimmune mechanism e.g. triggered by an infection, has been postulated as the cause of GBS. It typically can begin with abnormal feelings (such as tingling, prickling, or burning sensations) of the feet, followed by weakness and even paralysis of the legs, ascending up the trunk to involve the arms and face. Other features of GBS include absent or decreased deep tendon reflexes such as knee jerk, and an increase in the protein content of cerebrospinal fluid without a corresponding increase in cells. Electrodiagnostic studies of nerves and muscles help to confirm the diagnosis. Mimickers of GBS, such as porphyria and heavy metal poisoning can be ruled out with appropriate studies. Joel S.

Prevention Definition: Guillain-Barre syndrome is a disorder caused by nerve inflammation involving progressive muscle weakness or paralysis, which often follows an infectious illness. Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Guillain-Barre syndrome is an acute type of nerve inflammation. The inflammation damages portions of the nerve cell, resulting in muscle weakness or paralysis and sensory loss. The damage usually includes loss of the myelin sheath of the nerve (demyelination ), which slows the conduction of impulses through the nerve. The damage can also cause kill the axon part of the nerve cell (denervation), which stops nerve function entirely. Without the axon, messages cannot be transferred from one nerve cell to another. The exact cause of this disorder is unknown. It may occur at any age but is most common in people of both sexes between the ages 30 and 50. It often follows a minor infection, usually a respiratory (lung) infection or gastrointestinal (gut) infection. Frequently, signs of the original infection have disappeared before the signs of Guillain-Barre begin.
