ABSTRACT

Pueden mostrar aumento de anticuerpos anti-GQ1b los síndromes de Miller Fisher, Guillain-Barré con Oftalmoplegia, Rombencefalitis de Bickerstaff y Oftalmoplejia Aguda sin Ataxia, llamadas síndromes anti-GQ1b. Presentamos hombre de 72 años que ingresa por diplopía, oftalmoplejia de instalación aguda y dolor retro-ocular. Tuvo un episodio semejante hace cinco años, recuperado. Al ingreso mostraba oftalmoplejia completa bilateral sin ptosis, miosis y leve enoftalmo del ojo derecho. Potencia muscular conservada, arreflexia osteotendinea, sin compromiso cerebeloso ni sensitivo. LCR y electromiografía normales. RM de cerebro mostraba captación e hiperintensidad (T2) de los pares tercero y sexto. RM de medula espinal no mostró cambio de las raíces espinales. Aumento de GQ1b de 46.2/ 25 en el suero. Mejoró sin tratamiento. Treinta días después, quedaba solo paresia de los sextos pares. El anti-GQ1b es un marcador que identifica las neuropatías con compromiso oculomotor. Las oftalmoplejias agudas sin ataxia tienen reflejos conservados, el 30 por ciento tiene arreflexia. Sólo existen reportes de Síndrome de Guillain-Barré y Miller-Fisher recurrentes con anti-GQ1b. Sería el primer caso descrito de Oftalmoplejia aguda sin ataxia anti-GQ1b, recurrente.


They may exhibit increased anti-GQ1b antibodies in Miller Fisher syndrome, Guillain-Barre syndrome with ophthalmoplegia, Bickerstaff Rhombencephalitis, and Acute Ophthalmoplegia without ataxia , the so called anti-GQ1b syndromes. We report a 72 years old man who was admitted because of diplopia, acute onset ophthalmoplegia and retro-ocular pain. He had a similar episode five years ago, fully recovered. At admission he showed complete bilateral ophthalmoplegia without ptosis, miosis and slight enophthalmos of the right eye. Preserved muscle strength, deep tendon areflexia, without sensory or cerebellar commitment. CSF and electromyography were normal. Brain MRI showed uptake and T2 hyperintensity of the third and sixth cranial nerves. Spinal cord MRI showed no change in the spinal roots. Serum anti-GQ1b increase of 46.2 / 25. He improved without treatment. Thirty days later, paresis was only the sixth pair. The anti-GQ1b is a marker that identifies neuropathies with oculomotor commitment. The acute ophthalmoplegia without ataxia have normal reflex, 30 percent had areflexia. There are only Guillain-Barré and Miller-Fisher syndromes recurrent case reports with anti-GQ1b. It would be the first case of recurrent anti-GQ1b-positive acute ophthalmoplegia without ataxia.
