Correlation of Clinical and Electrophysiological Criteria in the Diagnosis of Guillain-Barré Syndrome: A Prospective Observational Study.

Introduction: There are many criteria for diagnosing Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), and the yield of these diagnostic criteria varies. Each criterion requires some laboratory data and nerve conduction studies (NCS). Although supportive laboratory data are reassuring when present in suspected cases of GBS, when absent, they can potentially cause further delay in diagnosis and treatment.

AMAN with Ophthalmoparesis: A Rare Presentation.

Acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN) is a variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), characterized by acute areflexic flaccid quadriparesis with motor axonal changes and absence of demyelinating findings in electrophysiological studies. A 30-year-old man presented with acute onset flaccid type of weakness involving all four limbs, along with drooping of eyelids. Examination revealed ptosis with restricted horizontal and vertical eye movements.
