| Popis: | Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an immune-mediated peripheral polyradiculonevritis, which is clinically characterized by rapid, symmetrical progression of muscle weakness or paralysis, with or without sensitive symptoms. We report the case of a male child aged 4 years is presented for distal weakness in the lower limbs, impossibility of maintaining vertical posture, balance disorders, alternating sleepiness with episodes of psychomotor agitation and dysphonia, headache, with sudden onset about 12 hours before hospitalization. The presented case underlines the importance of accurately describing the clinical picture and evolution in establishing the diagnosis, in total or partial absence of paraclinical data. Also, the low number of cases described in medical jurnals justify the interest in investigating and publishing these cases. |
