Dual Case

Heterotopic Ossification (HO) is formation of atypical, lamellar bone within a soft tissue surrounding major joints. It is well documented as a complication following spinal cord injury and traumatic brain injury; however, it is quite rarely seen in lower motor neuron conditions like Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS). Here, we present two cases of GBS (both young males) with Bilateral hip pain who were diagnosed HO on the basis of radiological study while still admitted in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Both of them had history of mechanical ventilation, tetraparesis and prolonged immobilisation. There are very few reports of HO in GBS and if detected early, it improves the functional outcome.

Time Of Presentation

A 56-year-old woman with a medical history of hypertension presented to our hospital with back pain, abdominal pain, vomiting and elevated blood pressure. The laboratory parameters including evaluation for secondary hypertension were within normal ranges at the time of presentation. During her hospitalisation, fluctuations in her blood pressure and pulse were observed which were attributed to autonomic disturbances, the cause of which was unknown. On the seventh day after presentation to the hospital, the patient developed focal seizures and slurred speech which was believed to be secondary to hyponatraemia detected at that time. Hyponatraemia improved with hypertonic saline and she experienced no further seizures. On the eighth day of her admission, she developed acute flaccid paralysis of all her limbs and respiratory distress. We concluded this to be secondary to Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS). She responded to plasmapheresis.The presence of dysautonomia and hyponatraemia before the onset of paralysis makes this a rare presentation of GBS.

Introduction: Guillain-Barre Syndrome is an uncommon complication during acute brucellosis. Case presentation: In this study, we present a case of Guillain-Barre Syndrome in a 22-year old male patient with complaints of weakness in his lower limbs. He had a history of acute Brucella infection for four months and received antimicrobial medication. Conclusion: the patients can be affected by GBS after antimicrobial treatment.

In Pregnancy

Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) is a clinical syndrome characterized by the presence of the complete flaksid that occurs in acute. GBS associated with autoimmune reaction that affect peripheral nerve, radix, and cranial nerve. The incidence of GBS is 1 – 2 per 100,000 people/year. The incident was followed by increased age and the increasing population of obstetrics. GBS in pregnancy ranged from 13% in the first trimester, 47% in the second trimester, and 40% in the third trimester. In this case report reported Mrs. M 27 years old with a diagnosis of G2P1A0 h. 39-40 weeks + insimanation + living single fetal Presentation Head + Inpartu kala II + GBS + Failed + Vacuum Severily Underweight (BMI = 17) + TBJ 3000 Gr. Diagnosis of GBS are enforced based on anamnesis, physical examination and complementary examinations. From a previous illness history found anamnesis the weakness of limbs beginning in 2016. A history of the use of breathing apparatus and admitted tot the ICU in the first pregnancy. Mrs. M had a history of infections before being diagnosed with GBS. On this second pregnancy patients cannot move lower extremity but upper extermity is still functioning. Physical examination result of mothers and babies in the normal range even though found in conditions of severily BMI underweight. The patient finally decided to SC (section caesaria) and applied the IUD intracaesarean GBS in pregnancy is a coincidental. GBS is rarely aggravate pregnancy, but if not quickly identified and handled can enhance the high morbidity in both mother and fetus. In acute attacks (AIDP) in pregnant women with GBS increase stress on the mother or the fetus. The stress that occurs can also stimulate the immune system to produce prostaglandins, resulting in premature birth. Patients can give birth when the gestational age is still 7 months. It was different in the second pregnancy in this case where the patient was diagnosed with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculopathy (CIDP) so that GBS did not affect the mother and the fetus.
