TI  - Bilateral Peripheral Facial Paralysis in a Pregnant Patient Admitted to Emergency Service: A case of Guillain-Barre Syndrome
AB  - Unilateral facial paralysis is frequently seen in emergency services but bilateral facialparalysis (BFP) is rare. The most common causes of bilateral facial paralysis are GullianBarre syndrome, lyme disease, Bell paralysis, skull fracture, moebius, multiple sclerosis,and infectious mononucleosis. Gullian Barre Syndrome is a demyelinatingpolyneuropathy which is associated with acute infection. The majority of cases presentwith symmetric muscle weakness and areflexia. Gullian Barre Syndrome can bediagnosed by clinical findings together with lumbar puncture and/or electrodiagnosticresults. It is a rare disease in pregnancy. Plasma exchange or gamma globulin treatmentis the preferred treatment. In this report, we present the case of a 20-week pregnantwoman who presented with bilateral facial paralysis and was eventually diagnosed withGullian Barre syndrome.
