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.},
