Sinusitis-Induced Guillain-Barré Syndrome
Journal Title: Archives of Otolaryngology and Rhinology - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a heterogeneous, relatively uncommon, post-infectious, immune-mediated polyradiculoneuropathy. It is estimated to affect 1.1-1.8/100,000/year in Europe and North America [1]. Historically, GBS was considered to be a single disorder, but it is currently classified into six clinically distinct subtypes. It can manifest as cranial nerve involvement, including bilateral facial palsy, which is observed in 45-75% of cases [2]. In most instances, bilateral facial palsy or facial diplegia (FD) manifests either as bilateral Bell's palsy or as part of the presentation of GBS [3].
