Pitfalls in electrodiagnosis of Guillain-Barré syndrome subtypes.
OBJECTIVE To electrophysiologically classify an Italian Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) population into demyelinating and axonal subtypes, to investigate how serial recordings changed the classification and to underline the pitfalls in electrodiagnosis of GBS subtypes. METHODS The authors applied two current electrodiagnostic criteria sets for demyelinating and axonal GBS subtypes in 55 patient...
متن کاملPhrenic nerve conduction time in Guillain-Barré syndrome.
Phrenic nerve conduction was studied in 28 patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome. Conduction time was prolonged in 18 (64.3%) patients and serial studies showed progressive improvement with restoration of normal values in the majority by 12 weeks. The conduction abnormalities had a positive correlation with the extent of the disease, morbidity and mortality. Phrenic nerve conduction time was fo...
متن کاملTwo sets of nerve conduction studies may suffice in reaching a reliable electrodiagnosis in Guillain-Barré syndrome.
OBJECTIVE Recent studies have advocated the use of serial nerve conduction studies (NCS) in the electrodiagnosis of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). The current study aims to elucidate when and how frequent NCS can be performed to reflect the disease pathophysiology. METHODS A prospective study of GBS patients documenting the initial and final electrodiagnoses following serial NCS performed at ...
متن کاملPatterns and severity of conduction abnormalities in Guillain-Barré syndrome.
Whether the conduction abnormalities and lesions underlying them are randomly distributed throughout the peripheral nervous system (PNS) or certain regions are selectively more vulnerable to attack is an unresolved question in Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). To examine this question, 15 cases of GBS were comprehensively examined using electrophysiological techniques which allowed close examinati...
متن کاملSubtypes and Prognosis of Guillain-Barré Syndrome in Southwest China
The proportion of different subtypes of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) and their prognosis varied significantly among different regions. This study attempts to investigate the clinical subtypes and outcome of GBS in southwest China. Patients with GBS admitted to The First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from January 2006 to March 2013 were included in our study. Patients were...
