Definition
English
:
A variant of the
GUILLAIN-BARRE SYNDROME
characterized by the acute onset of oculomotor dysfunction,
ataxia
, and loss of deep tendon reflexes with relative sparing of strength in the
extremities
and trunk. The
ataxia
is produced by peripheral sensory nerve dysfunction and not by cerebellar injury. Facial weakness and sensory loss may also occur. The process is mediated by
autoantibodies
directed against a component of myelin found in
peripheral nerves
. (Adams et al., Principles of
Neurology
, 6th ed, p1313;
Neurology
1987 Sep;37(9):1493-8)
