Pulmonary Embolism in Landry-Guillain-Barre-Strohl Syndrome

T. Krishnan Raman M.D.1; Joseph A. Blake M.D.1; and Timothy M. Harris M.D.1

1 Division of Pulmonary Diseases, Department of Medicine, Albany Medical Center Hospital, Albany

Thirty cases of the Landry-Guillain-Barre-Strohl syndrome (LGBS) seen at a medical center are reviewed. Three patients had autopsy-proved pulmonary embolism and seven additional patients fulfilled systematic clinical diagnostic criteria. The incidence of pulmonary embolism in the total group was probably in excess of 33 percent. Pulmonary embolism should be recognized as a frequent complication of LGBS and the effectiveness of prophylactic anticoagulation in this group should be evaluated.
