Severe Guillain-Barré syndrome following urethritis with cardiovascular and ophthalmic involvement

Amanda Marshall

F E Rogerson

Abstract: Summary A patient with a severe form of the Guillain-Barré syndrome is described and the case illustrates the rare cardiovascular and ophthalmic complications which can occur. Urethritis, probably due to gonorrhoea, preceded neurological symptoms and this association has not been previously reported.

Autonomic dysfunction is a common feature in various forms of polyradiculoneuropathy. This study investigated the kinds and frequency of of autonomic dysfunction in 106 cases. Denervation insufficiency of organs associated with supersensitivity of reflex mechanisms was found to be the best explanation of the pathophysiology. Early insertion of a transient cardiac pacemaker is recommended to counteract life-threatening cardiac failure.

Papilledema and Peripheral Neuropathies

Introduction: Papilledema is a common sign in ophthalmology and is typically associated with increased intracranial pressure (ICP) in neurological diseases. Since the beginning of the 20th century, some cases of papilledema have been reported in association with acute or chronic inflammatory neuropathies. Case Report: We describe a 42-year-old man with acute-onset inflammatory polyradiculoneuropathy and bilateral papilledema. Conclusions: Based on a personal case report and from an extensive review of the medical literature, we identify 2 distinct patterns. First, radiculoneuropathy may be a consequence of intracranial pressure (peripheral nerve involvement corresponding to a “false localizing sign”). Second, papilledema may occur after the onset of inflammatory neuropathy. For such cases, the pathophysiological mechanism remains unknown (eg, reactional inflammatory processes or actions of unknown autoantibodies) and requires further elucidation.
