Abstract

We report the case of a 13-year-old child presenting an unusual case of Guillian–Barre Syndrome (SGB). Its presentation is usually a progression of symmetrical muscle weakness that ascends from the lower extremities, moves toward a more proximal pathway, and is accompanied by absent or depressed tendon reflexes. Here, the patient presented with a rare presentation of Pharyngeal–Cervical–Brachial (PCB) variant of Guillain–Barré syndrome, where the symptomatology began with dysphagia and dyspnea, and the weakness was descending paralysis. The objective of this clinical case report is to highlight this extremely rare presentation of PCB variant of Guillain–Barré syndrome. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
