The clinical manifestations of autonomic nerve damage are complex and varied, which may involve extensive or limited autonomic function damage, including abnormalities of the skin, pupil, urinary tract, gastrointestinal tract, cardiovascular system, body temperature, lacrimal and salivary glands, and sexual function, etc. [2], and some patients may even have autonomic nerve damage as the only symptom, which is a variant of GBS and is prone to misdiagnosis or underdiagnosis. Recurrence of GBS is rare, and the manifestations of recurrence are often similar to those of the first symptoms [3], but the patient admitted to our hospital had syncope as the main clinical manifestation of recurrence, which was completely different from that of the first incidence, and syncope is not a common and typical clinical manifestation of GBS, so misdiagnosis is highly likely.展开更多

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is the most common acute diabetes mellitus, often diabetes and infection, insulin withdrawal or interruption of the history of triggers, with hyperglycemia, ketoacidosis, and acid poisoning as the main symptoms, rapid onset of ill-ness, and serious illness. Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an autoimmune-mediated peripheral neuropathy with frequent respiratory or gastrointestinal tract infections and low clinical incidence before 1 - 3 weeks. This case was characterized by a headache with vomiting acute onset, a relatively clear diagnosis of diabetic ketoacidosis, a symmetrical decrease in muscle strength in the extremities, and recovery of consciousness after aggressive correction of environmental disturbance in electrolytes, but very poor muscle strength in the extremities, protein-cell segregation in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Considering Guillain-Barré syndrome, the patient’s muscle strength gradually recovered after treatment with proglobulin shock. At present, the pathogenesis of the two is not clear, but because of its rapid progress, clinicians should raise awareness of diabetic ketoacidosis combined with Guillain-Barré syndrome, early diagnosis, and active treatment. Inform consent has been obtained from the patient for this report.展开更多
