[The Guillain-Barré syndrome. The clinico-electrophysiological correlations]. / La sindrome di Guillain-Barré. Correlazioni cliniche-elettrofisiologiche.

The authors refer about clinico-electrophysiological correlations in children with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). The dates confirm the diagnostic and prognostic value of electrodiagnostic studies in GBS, so that the authors suggest an electrodiagnostic protocol. According to the authors, independently of the extent of electrophysiological abnormalities, young age has a favourable influence on the restoration of conduction abnormalities and on the evolution of damage to peripheral neurones.
