[A case of acute oropharyngeal palsy with nasal voice as main symptom].
We report a patient with acute oropharyngeal palsy following enteritis. A 19-year-old woman developed increasing nasal voice over a few days. Neurological examination on day 7 of her course showed paretic dysarthria and mild weakness of neck flexion and quadriceps femoris muscle (Medical Research Council grade, 4+). Her palatal movement was diminished, whereas both palatal and pharyngeal reflex was normal. She could swallow water, although she had a slight amount of liquid reflux to her nose on swallowing. High titers of serum anti-Campylobacter jejuni, anti-GQ1b and anti-GT1a IgG antibodies were detected. Her symptoms improved gradually without any treatment, and disappeared by 40 days from neurological onset. Nasal voice with slight swallowing impairment as initial symptom has been rarely reported, but can occur in acute oropharyngeal palsy. Therefore, neurologists should take into account the possibility of Guillain-Barré syndrome and the regional variants in patients who show nasal voice during the initial stage.
