Despite the wide literature describing the features of Guillain‐Barré syndrome (GBS) in different populations worldwide, Colombian data are very scarce. We aim to characterize patients with GBS in a general hospital setting in Colombia. We conducted a retrospective chart review of GBS cases managed at the Hospital Universitario Fundación Santa Fe de Bogotá, from 2011 to 2016. Twenty‐three patients were included. The most commonly reported symptoms were paresthesias (65%), pain (61%), proximal (22%) and distal (74%) limb weakness, and facial palsy (30%). 9% of patients had Fisher syndrome and 21% had other variants: Bickerstaff, pharyngeal‐cervical‐brachial pattern, and facial diplegia. There was a predominance of the demyelinating form (70%), with only 22% of patients presenting with the axonal variants. Our results are concordant with previous studies in Colombia.

哥伦比亚Guillain-Barré综合征的临床和电生理特征。

尽管有大量文献描述了世界各地不同人群的格林-巴利综合症（GBS）的特征，但哥伦比亚的数据却很少。我们的目标是在哥伦比亚的综合医院中对GBS患者进行特征分析。我们对2011年至2016年在波哥大圣塔菲大学医院管理的GBS病例进行了回顾性图表审查，其中包括23例患者。最常报告的症状是感觉异常（65％），疼痛（61％），近端（22％）和远端（74％）肢体无力以及面瘫（30％）。9％的患者患有Fisher综合征，21％的患者患有其他变异：比克斯塔夫（Bickerstaff），咽颈-臂肱型和面部截瘫。脱髓鞘形式占优势（70％），只有22％的患者出现轴突变体。
