Abstract

Guillain‑Barré syndrome is an acute immune‑mediated disease that affects the peripheral nervous system, with progressive motor deficit in the limbs, sometimes involvement of the cranial nerves and possible impairment of the autonomic nervous system. Due to the respiratory and autonomic nervous dysfunction, the disease has the potential to be fatal. Although modern methods of treatment have significantly improved patient prognosis, many patients nevertheless experience significant neurological sequelae. The practical applicability of plasmapheresis was illustrated in our case report. We report the case of a 27‑year‑old man who had a mild viral respiratory tract infection 1 week prior to the onset of disease with gradual development of a motor deficit, urinary retention, slight swallowing difficulties and mild respiratory dysfunction. Nerve conduction studies were performed and the diagnosis of acute motor axonal neuropathy phenotypic variant of Guillain‑Barré syndrome was established. Autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, infectious diseases, endocrinopathies, neoplastic diseases, intoxications, metabolic diseases and vitamin deficiencies were ruled out. Our patient attended four sessions of therapeutic plasma exchange performed using peripheral venous approach with two needles with significant recovery of the motor deficit. The patient was discharged 1 week later on maintenance kinetotherapy with further favorable evolution. In conclusion, we report a good evolution as a result of therapeutic plasma exchange in a patient with acute motor axonal neuropathy phenotypic variant of Guillain‑Barré syndrome. The procedure is well‑tolerated and can be performed safely by peripheral approach not only in the intensive care unit but also in a neurology clinic.
