Key result
Nonpoliovirus poliomyelitis in adults can simulate a motor axonal variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome but can be distinguished by clinical, cerebrospinal fluid, and MRI characteristics.
Case Report (n=2)
No
Nonpoliovirus poliomyelitis can mimic Guillain-Barré syndrome but can be distinguished by MRI showing T2-weighted signal changes in the ventral horns of the spinal cord.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Clinicians should use MRI and CSF to differentiate nonpoliovirus poliomyelitis from axonal GBS; case reports leave diagnostic criteria open for validation.
Gorson et al. (2001) conducted a case report in Nonpoliovirus poliomyelitis (n=2). Nonpoliovirus poliomyelitis was evaluated on Clinical, cerebrospinal fluid, and magnetic resonance imaging characteristics. Nonpoliovirus poliomyelitis in adults can simulate a motor axonal variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome but can be distinguished by clinical, cerebrospinal fluid, and MRI characteristics.
