Abstract

Abstract : Abstract: Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) is an acute inflammatory polyradiculoneuropathy which can lead to rapid neuromuscular respiratory failure, with an estimated annual incidence of 1-2 per 100, 000 person-years. Even though cranial nerve involvement is known to occur in GBS, radiological correlation on neuroimaging studies are less frequently reported in pediatric population. We hereby report the case of a 14-year-old boy with acute motor axonal neuropathy variant of GBS, who had extensive contrast enhancement of multiple cranial nerves on Magnetic Resonance Imaging brain, associated with clinicoradiological dissociation on presentation.
