Abstract:
Guillain-Barré Syndrome, (GBS), is a popular eponym that comes from a paper written in 1916 by Doctors. Guillain, Barré, and Strohl. Its spectrum has been enlarged considerably since the first description of it. Jean Alexandre Barré was a French neurologist, whose name is still widely associated with that of Georges Guillain, (1876-1961). He is also known for the leg manoeuvre. As Joseph Babinski's brilliant student, (1857-1932), we wanted to briefly retrace his biography in order to highlight some of the salient points within it and subjects that are topical for young neurologists today.
