Bilateral Sixth Nerve Palsy and Nasal Voice in Two Sisters as a Variant of Guillan-Barré Syndrome.
Neuro-ophthalmology 2018 October
A 6-year-old girl with acute pharyngitis presented with complaints of hypernasal speech and double vision. Examination revealed a bilateral abduction deficit associated with soft palate palsy causing rhinolalia aperta. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis showed albuminocytologic dissociation. Her sister also suffered from the same disorder, albeit milder, 1 month before. After treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin and steroids, the patient made a full recovery.
