Abstract :
Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) or acute idiopathic polyradiculoneuritis is an acquired immunemediated
inflammatory and mainly demyelinating disorder of the peripheral nervous system.
Cranial nerves are affected in over 50% of all cases, with the facial nerves being affected the
most. It uncommonly presents as atypical forms such as brachial pharyngeal variant, miller
fisher and other restricted forms. Herein, we reported a 44 year old male with GBS who
presented with diplopia and bilateral pseudo- internuclear ophthalmoplegia. Initially, the patient
was confused as a case of multiple sclerosis but finally diagnosis of GBS was made. Although
internuclear ophthalmoplegia is a typical feature of multiple sclerosis, it may be seen as a rare
manifestation of GBS as well.
