Abstract (2. Language): 
Bickerstaff Brainstem Encephalitis: A Case Report. Bickerstaff s brainstem encephalitis (BBE) is a monophasic, post-infectîous disorder with acute ophtalmoplegia, ataxia, drowsi-ness, extensor plantar responses and nemi sensory loss. The etiology of BBE is unknown, but an autoimmune mechanism has been proposed. There are Hmited number of studics İndİcating Ihe benefits of plasmapheresis, corticosteroids and IV immunoglobulin in treatment. The case was almosl completely cured vvith IV immunoglobulin treatment. The clinical progress, elect-rophysiological findings and treatment results of a case of BBE vvith central and peripheral in-volvement was presented and discussed due to its rare incidence

Abstract (Original Language): 
Bickerstaff beyin sapı ensefaliti (BBE); oftalmopieji, ataksi, bilinç bozukluğu, extensör planlar yanıt ve hemihipoestezinin bulunduğu, santral sinir sistemi tutulumu ile birlikte perifcrik tutulum da gösterebilen, monofazİk post-İnfeksiyoz bir klinik tablodur. BBE'nin etiolojisi tam olarak bilinmemekle beraber otoimmun bir mekanizma sonucu geliştiği ileri sürülmektedir. Tedavide plazmaferez, kortikosteroid ve intravenöz immunglobulin (IVIg) kullanımının yararlı olduğunu bildiren, az sayıda çalışma mevcuttur. Santral ve periferik sinir sistemi tutulumu ile seyreden ve intravenöz immunglobulin tedavisi ile tama yakın iyileşme gösteren bir BBE olgusu, literatürde az rastlanması nedeniyle, klinik seyir, elektrofizyolojİk bulguiar ve tedavi sonuçları açısından tartışılmaya değer bulundu.
