“…a significant drawback since this sort of neurological condition involves bulbar involvement and the inability to lift the head [ 10 ]. Out of 33 patients with normal GBS, five children aged 13 months to 15 years had atypical GBS and GBS variant presentations [ 11 ]. Furthermore, oropharyngeal dysphagia in GBS patients was probably more common due to cranial nerve damage, and this cohort may also have subclinical dysphagia [ 12 ].…”

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is acute, ascending, immune-mediated, monophasic polyneuropathy, which manifests itself as a lower motor neuron lesion, which occurs mostly after a prior infection. It is autoimmune in origin and has an impact on the peripheral nervous system. GBS is usually not linked to an autoimmune or other systemic condition and is most frequently a post-infectious disorder that affects healthy patients. The symptoms of GBS, an acute immune-mediated polyradiculoneuropathy, include symmetrical limb weakness that worsens quickly and hypo-or areflexia. There may also be sensory complaints, involvement of cranial and autonomic nerve fibres, and frequent pain that will appear before weakening. Weakness, sensory loss, weariness, and discomfort are the most typical remaining deficiencies in an atypical variant of GBS. This case also describes the variant of atypical GBS. A 10-year-old girl was referred to the hospital with complaints of difficulty in swallowing, drooling of saliva, weakness of left upper and bilateral lower limbs, and fever for 10 days. There was no past history of travelling or infection. At the time of admission, the patient was on oxygen support for breathing and she was transferred to ICU immediately. Investigations were done such as a nerve conduction velocity test and complete blood count. Neuro-physiotherapy of the patient was started after 35 days of hospitalisation. With proper rehabilitation, the patient was able to gain strength and the ability to swallow food. The patient was able to resume her academic career.
