title: [A variant form of Guillain-Barre syndrome: a study of clinical and pathology of sural nerve biopsy].
abstract: This study reported four cases of variant of Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS). Clinical features showed muscle fasciculation, Fisher Syndrome, GBS with family Leber's disease and idiopathic dysautonomia. There were oligoclonal protein in 3 patients and elevation of protein of CSF in 4 cases. The neurogenic lesion of limb muscle was confirmed by EMG and NCV in all patients.
