The pharyngeal-cervical-brachial (PCB) variant is a rare presentation of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), and there is a handful of case reports that overlap with the Miller-Fisher syndrome (MFS) variant of GBS. This overlap produces varied symptoms that may be confusing and challenging for physicians to diagnose timely and start appropriate treatment. In this article, we present a case report and review of the rare overlap of the PCB variant with the MFS variant of GBS.
