The Syndrome of Polyneuritis With Facial Diplegia

Case Report: Intracranial Hypertension Secondary to Guillain-Barre Syndrome

“…GBS is the most common cause of acute flaccid paralysis in healthy infants and children ( 31 , 32 ). ICHT, a pathological feature that is reported in a few scattered cases of GBS, occurs in 4–6% of children with GBS and the exact mechanism remains elusive ( 9 – 13 , 19 – 22 ). In this systematic study, we present and discuss previous case reports of GBS associated with ICHT, papilledema or hydrocephalus ( Table 1 ).…”

Neuritic Manifestations in Diabetes Mellitus

“…The eighth was a man of 35 years with diabetes of twelve years' duration and some obvious but undiagnosed infection that may possibly have been similar to the infectious neuritis recently described by Taylor and McDonald (1932). Of the 9 cases without arteriosclerosis, there was no pulsation in the dorsalis pedis artery in 2, and in 1 of these the oscillometer needle showed diminished excursion at the level of the left calf.…”

Effect of Para-Aminobenzoic Acid in Tsutsugamushi Disease

“…Although a few of the patients noted subjective improvement, the findings, objectively, were not encour¬ aging. 3. Bulbar cases did not respond to this treatment, and in 2 cases a rapid downward course necessitated the use of artificial respirators.…”

“…Various authors have reported mortality rates of from 8 to 30 per cent in their series, and late residual complica¬ tions have been reported in as high as 31 per cent (5 cases) of a small series of 16 cases with one death in the same series of Taylor and McDonald. 3 Bradford, Bashford and Wilson4 reported 8 deaths in 30 cases (26 per cent) and Gilpin, Moersch and Kernohan B recorded a 20 per cent mortality rate in their series, while Baker6 .-eported a 10 per cent mortality rate (3 cases) in his series of 33 cases. These facts all tend to encourage one to use an active course of therapy rather than a course of expectant observation with only supportive therapy, and it is hoped that the present proposed neostigmine therapy will fulfil this aim.…”
