Facial diplegia with hyperreflexia--a mild Guillain-Barre Syndrome variant, to treat or not to treat? uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS) is readily diagnosed when the presentation is that of ascending weakness and areflexia. Atypical presentations with preserved, and at times, brisk reflexes, can be a diagnostic dilemma. We describe a patient with GBS who presented with facial diplegia and hyperreflexia on examination and discuss management options.
