CASE 1 History
14-year-old girl, 10-day history of progressive weakness
3 weeks before, rhinorrhea, cough, malaise
8 days after, lower-extremity weakness and difficulty walking
Diffuse muscle pain and progressive weakness that extended to upper extremities
3 days before this, developed a hoarse voice and SOBDifficulty urinating and decreased oral intake No fever, cough, vomiting, diarrhea
EXAMINATION
Afebrile, ill-appearing Heart rate:
118 bpm Respiratory rate:
28 breaths/min Blood pressure:
168/122 mm Hg Oxygen saturation:
93% at room air Lungs auscultation:
diffuse, poor aeration Heart sounds:
normal, no murmur
NEUROLOGIAL EXAM. Muscle strength symmetric but diminished Lower extremities: 2/5, upper extremities: 4/5 Sensation intact to light touch, loss of vibratory
sense Lower extremities: No DTR,
upper extremities: diminished (1+), absent plantar reflexes
Cranial nerves II-XII intact; weak cough and gag reflex, impaired handling of secretions.
The remainder of her examination is unremarkable.
INVESTIGATIONS???
INVESTIGATIONS CBC and a basic metabolic panel:
within normal limits LP: opening pressure of 15 cm H20 CSF analysis: 2 WBC/HPF 4 RBC/HPF No organisms Protein 96 mg/dL (960 mg/L) Glucose 72 mg/dL (3.99 mmol/L) MRI brain and spine Transported to the ICU, Intubated
DIAGNOSIS
Spinal epidural abscess
Guillian-Barre syndrome

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Two types of reactions are seen in peripheral nerve injury
Injury of the neuron and its axon leads to axonal degeneration,
a. neurone cell body (neuropathy) b.or its axon (axonopathy)
•Dysfunction of the Schwann cell or damage to myelin sheath leads to a loss of myelin lead to (segmental demyelination).
Epidemiology
Frequency Age Race Sex Mortality and morbidity Recurrence
HOW TO DIAGNOSE?????
Clinical Picture
Weakness Reduced or absent reflexes Sensory disturbance Pain Cranial nerve involvement Respiratory dysfunction Dysautonomia
CSF analysis Opening pressures WBC Protein Albuminocytologic dissociation MRI Vitals Vital capacity / arterial O2 pressure
VARIANTS Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS) Acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN) Acute motor sensory axonal neuropathy
(AMSAN) Acute panautonomic neuropathy Bickerstaff’s brainstem encephalitis (BBE),
Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS)
Classic triad of ophthalmoplegia, ataxia, and areflexia
Diplopia usually initial symptom, followed by limb or gait ataxia
Descending paralysis Elevated antibodies to GQ1b
ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY
Serum anti-ganglioside Antibodies
Anti-GM1, GM1b, GD1a, GalNAc-GDIa
TREATMENT Supportive Care Ventilatory Support Autonomic dysfunction Noscomial infections Venous thromobosis Nutritional support Immune therapy Plasma exchange (PE) Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) Corticosteroids
Prognosis
Nadir of clinical deficits at 4 weeks 5-20% have fulminant course Residual deficit Recovery at 1 year follow-up:
62% had recovered completely, 14% could walk but not run, 9% could not walk without assistance, 4% remained bed bound or ventilated, 8% died
CORTICO-SPINAL Tracts (Pyramidal T.)
Anterior Horn CellAutosomal recessive
inheritance
mutation on chromosome 5q13 S---- M-------
A------
Anterior Horn CellType 1 (Werdning- Hoffman
disease) • Clinically apparent at birth • Tongue fasciculations,
floppiness, absent tendon reflexes and gen. muscle atrophy,
• Recurrent chest infections and death before the age of 2 yrs. due to resp. failure.

CASE 2
Six-year-old girl, unable to walk without assistance for few hours
Tingling sensation in her finger toes yesterday
Six hours later stagger and fall Next day unable to walk
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
Alert, afebrile Truncal instability, wide-based, ataxic gait Neurological examination: Muscle strength in the legs and arms 4/5 Dysmetria on finger-to-nose testing DTR diminished at the left knee, normal
elsewhere Sensations and cranial nerves normal, as was
the rectal-sphincter tone
INVESTIGATIONS
Chest x-ray Routine laboratory studies Tests for toxic substances Stool culture MRI head and neck no abnormalities CSF analysis: Protein 29 mg/dl Glucose 71 mg/dl (3.9 mmol per liter) Lymphocyte count of 2 per cubic millimeter. Gram's staining and culture negative Nerve-conduction studies
COURSE IN HOSPITAL
48 hours later lethargic and irritable Symmetric leg weakness increased, with muscle
strength of 3/5. DTR at the knees and ankles were absent Due to ascending paralysis and hypoventilation,
transferred to the ICU for intubation By 72 hours, motor strength 2/5 Listlessness, slurred speech, and bilateral ptosis
