- Abstract
The article presents a clinical example of Guillain-Barre syndrome with a predominant involvement of cranial nerves, which developed after COVID-19. Comprehensive clinical and laboratory diagnostics, including examination of cerebrospinal fluid, electromyography, examination for possible etiological infectious agents, was carried out. A course of pathogenetic therapy was used in the form of plasmapheresis sessions, supportive therapy. A good clinical effect was obtained. To this moment, only a few cases of the development of Guillain-Barré syndrome after a new coronavirus infection have been described. The peculiarity of our case is the development of a clinical picture of insufficiency of predominantly cranial nerves with subclinical involvement of the nerves of the extremities.
