Abstract
- Acute motor axonal Guillain-Barr syndrome is a paralytic disorder of abrupt onset, characterized electrophysiologically by near-normal terminal latencies, preserved nerve conduction velocity with low CAMP amplitude without a conduction block, and early appearing nerve inexcitability and by sparing sensory fibers. Most cases have antecedental infection with Campylobacter jejuni and have antibodies directed toward GM1 ganglioside-like epitopes. We have experienced a case of primary axonal type of Guillain-Barr syndrome in a 14-year-old female patient, who has symptoms of difficulty in swallowing and progressive flaccid paralysis associated with anti-GM1 antibody and anti-GD1 antibody.
