Abstract
|
|
|
|
Facial diplegia (FD) rarely occurs as a regional Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) variant. A 70-yearold male presented with bifacial weakness that had started on the left side and extended to the right after several days. He was then treated using steroids and gradually improved. Serum antiganglioside antibody testing revealed positivity for anti-GM1 IgG antibodies. FD can be idiopathic, but it is an uncommon GBS variant. The ganglioside antibody test may increase the possibility of diagnosing isolated FD.
