Fisher–Pharyngeal–Cervical–Brachial Overlap Syndrome With Novel Ganglioside Antibodies

We present a case of overlap FS–PCB syndrome with a novel ganglioside antibody profile of GM1 and GD1b antibodies, which typically are associated with other variant syndromes. This case suggests the need for all ganglioside antibodies to be tested in suspected variant Guillain–Barré syndromes. The antibodies may prove especially useful in cases in which the clinical diagnosis is ambiguous.
