The Guillain-Barre syndrome is associated with acute polyradiculoneuritis for
almost one century. Its spectrum has considerably been enlarged since its first
description. It now includes pure motor or sensory syndromes, focal forms,
demyelinating and axonal neurophysiological features that characterise
excitability dysfunctions, and immunological differentiations. We can hope that
this improved classification will facilitate development of treatment innovations
for a condition that is still a life-threatening condition with a severe
functional prognosis in a significant proportion of cases.
