    Possible Association of Papillophlebitis with Guillain-Barre Syndrome: Case Report
    (2018) Karatas, Muge Coban; Soylu, Merih; 0000-0001-9873-7454; 30202618
    In this case report, we presented a patient with visual deterioration as a result of papillophlebitis in the right eye who was later diagnosed with Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS). Upon systemic and laboratory work-up to determine the etiology of papillophlebitis, the diagnosis of GBS was made and treatment was initiated immediately. The ocular and systemic symptoms resolved quickly after starting intravenous immunoglobulin therapy. We present this case to emphasize the importance of etiological diagnosis in papillophlebitis and the unusual presentation of GBS.
