Guillain-Barre Syndrome with Severe Rheumatic Heart Disease: A case report
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Basic and Applied Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
Guillain–Barre syndrome (GBS) is the commonest acute inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (AIDP) that is autoimmune in nature. It is characterized by mainly motor weakness but sometimes involves sensory and autonomic nerves. Weakness usually begins in the lower extremities and progressively involves the trunk, upper limbs and face. We report a fifty-one year old female patient who presented with complaints of weakness in both upper and lower extremities of 5 days duration diagnosed to be due to GBS. She coincidentally had conservatively managed severe rheumatic aortic stenosis which proved to be a therapeutic challenge in this scenario?
