PERIPHERAL DEMYELINATING
DISORDERS EXAM WITH 100%
CORRECT ANSWERS { GRADED A+}
peripheral demyelinating disorders - ✔✔guillain barre syndrome (GBS)
or chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP)
types of GBS - ✔✔acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy
(AIDP), acute motor-sensory axonal neuropathy (AMSAN), acute motor
axonal neuropathy (AMAN), miller fisher syndrome (cranial nerves)
guillain-barre syndrome - ✔✔peripheral nerve disease affecting myelin
and/or axons
GBS: acute stage - ✔✔rapidly acquired paralysis, peak weakness
within 6 days to 2 weeks from onset, no progression beyond 4 weeks
, GBS: inflammatory stage - ✔✔immune-mediated attack on myelin
sheaths and/or axonal membrane
GBS: polyneuropathy/radiculopathy - ✔✔peripheral nervous system
disease that affects multiple motor and sensory nerves
GBS: common preceding symptoms - ✔✔fever, cough, sore throat,
nasal discharge, diarrhea
GBS: common preceding infections - ✔✔C. jejuni, cytomegalovirus,
esptein-barr, mycoplasma pneumoniae, haemophilus influenzae
GBS: other associated factors - ✔✔vaccinations, pregnancy,
malignancy, bone marrow transplant
GBS acute phase (1-4 weeks) - ✔✔occurs during initial period of active
inflammation/pathological processes
GBS plateau phase - ✔✔maximal impairment without further decline
occurring 2-4 weeks after onset of inflammatory process
