      abstract     = {ntroduction: Electrodiagnostic features of demyelination
                      are essential for establishing the diagnosis in
                      demyelinating subtypes of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS),
                      but they may also occur in disorders that mimic GBS
                      clinically. Information about their frequency in GBS mimics
                      is sparse. Methods: Evaluation of electrodiagnostic features
                      from 38 patients with suspected GBS in whom the diagnosis
                      was later refuted (GBS mimics). Their diagnostic accuracy
                      was analyzed by comparison with nerve conduction studies
                      (NCS) from 73 confirmed GBS patients. Results: Disorders
                      that mimicked GBS clinically at the time of hospital
                      admission included other inflammatory, metabolic, toxic, or
                      infectious neuropathies and spinal cord disorders. The sural
                      sparing pattern was the most specific electrodiagnostic
                      feature for demyelinating GBS. Conclusions: Common
                      electrodiagnostic abnormalities in early demyelinating GBS
                      do not usually exclude other rare differential diagnoses. An
                      exception to this is the sural sparing pattern described
                      here, which strongly supports the diagnosis of demyelinating
                      GBS.},
