Guillain-Barr é Syndrome, variants & forms fruste: Reclassification with new criteria

Clinical phenotypes and electrophysiology characteristics play important roles in Guillain-Barr é syndrome (GBS) diagnosis, subtypes classification and prognosis. Although GBS commonly presents as acute flaccid paralytic polyradiculoneuropathy with or without cranial nerves involvement, several clinically distinctive forms fruste have been described, in addition to Miller-Fisher syndrome (MFS ), which is defined by the unique clinical triad, or in isolation, of ophthalmoplegia, ataxia, and areflexia [1,2].
