Abstract
We report gadolinium-enhancing nerve root lesions in a 52-year-old man with typical Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS). This enhancement correlat es well with the perineurial inflammatory and demyelinating processes known to characterize GBS and other inflammatory neuropathies. MRI sho uld enable further exploration of patterns of disease in GBS and, with further study, perhaps assist in evaluating therapy.
