Abstract:
We report 7 cases of acute polyneuropathy fitting the NINDS diagnostic criteria for GBS. Electrophysiological study and sural nerve biopsy revealed a picture of axonal polyneuropathy, without changes suggesting demyelination. We discuss whether the acute idiopathic axonal neuropathy belongs to the GBS spectrum or represents a separate clinico-pathological entity.
