Abstract
MRI in a 5-year-old girl with Guillain-Barre syndrome showed marked en hancement of nerve roots in the region of the conus medullaris and cau da equina. This enhancement gradually disappeared after high-dose immu noglobulin therapy. This characteristic finding of MRI may have diagno stic utility and represent the clinical course of the disease.
