A Case Report On Gillian Baree Syndrome

Abstract

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by acute-onset muscle weakness, sensory disturbances, and, in severe cases, paralysis. This abstract presents a case study of GBS in a 45-year-old male office worker, highlighting the clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, treatment strategies, and prognosis.

The patient, Mr. Aman, presented with a one-week history of progressive weakness in his lower limbs, accompanied by tingling sensations. He denied any preceding illness or recent vaccinations. Physical examination revealed that weakness in bilateral lower extremities, diminished proprioception, and absent ankle reflexes. Diagnostic evaluation, including cerebrospinal fluid analysis and nerve conduction studies, supported the diagnosis of GBS.

 In intensive care unit the Treatment consisted of intravenous immunoglobulin (IV-IG) therapy initiated at a dose of 0.4 g/kg/day for 5 days, along with supportive care including respiratory monitoring and pain management.

The prognosis for GBS varies, with most patients experiencing significant recovery within months. However, complications such as respiratory failure underscore the importance of vigilant monitoring and prompt intervention.

This case study highlights the clinical complexities of GBS and emphasizes the need for early recognition and intervention to optimize outcomes in affected individuals. Further research into the underlying pathophysiology and treatment modalities is warranted to improve management strategies for this challenging neurological disorder.
