Abstract
Introduction: Guillian Barre is an autoimmune syndrome characterised by acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy.Patients suffering from GBS typically have pain,numbness,paraesthesia and weakness in upper limbs and lower limbs.They do mimic symptoms of lumbar canal stenosis at certain occasions which can be very misleading and lead to a wrong diagnosis and management.Here,we report a case of a 60 yr old gentleman with an atypical GBS presentation with underlying lumbar canal stenosis.
