Cinical and ENMG findings in patients with rare variants of Guillain Barré Syndrome

ConclusionThe PCB and MFS variant are rare forms of GBS. Ataxia commonly described in both of our cases may lead to overlapping syndrome and supports the view that PCB and MFS belongs to a continuous spectrum. Ataxia makes also difficult to differentiate these clinical entities from brainstem injury. However, areflexia and ENMG help to make the diagnosis. Further studies are needed to clarify whether these entities have specific patterns in electrophysiological studies.
