Abstract
There are presented data on clinical variants and peculiarities of the course of acute demyelinating inflammatory polyneuropathy in children. This disease is the acute post-infectious immune-mediated polyradiculoneuropathy characterized by the destruction of myelin ofperipheral nerves and manifested by the syndrome of symmetrical polyneuropathy with motor, sensor, autonomous disturbances and albuminocytologic dissociation in cerebrospinal fluid. This disease is known to be commonly developed during 2-4 weeks with following stage of stabilization and then improvement. There are considered issues of etiology and pathogenesis of Guillian-Barre syndrome, with the accents on pediatric aspects. There are given data on chronic demyelinating inflammatory polyneuropathy andM. Fischer syndrome also. There are described neurophysiological criteria for demyelinating disorders in children and considered issues of their management.
