ABSTRACT
From November, 2010 to February, 2018, 11 children with variants of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) were treated in Xiangya Hospital of Central South University. Clinical manifestations included cranial nerve involvement in 9 cases, limb weakness in 9 cases, ataxia in 8 cases, abnormal sensation in 7 cases, weakened or disappeared tendon reflex in all cases, albuminocytologic dissociation of cerebrospinal fluid in 6 cases, and neurogenic changes in electromyography in 8 cases. Immune globulin and steroids were given to 5 cases and 1 case, respectively, while the combination of immune globulin with steroids was given to 1 case, and symptomatic treatment was given to 4 cases. All treatments were effective, remaining no apparent side effect for nervous system. The diagnosis of GBS variants was based on clinical manifestation. Patients who had cranial nerve involvement, ataxia and weakened or disappeared tendon reflex should be paid attention. Albuminocytologic dissociation of cerebrospinal fluid and electromyography were helpful to diagnosis. GBS variants were self-limited disease. Immunotherapy can ease the patients' critical condition.
