Abstract

A 21-year-old man experienced numbness and weakness in the extremities, with progression to ataxia, dysphagia, and respiratory failure. A diagnosis of Landry-Guillain-Barré-Strohl Syndrome was made on the basis of clinical symptoms and cerebrospinal fluid protein levels. Mechanical ventilatory support was required for 26 days, and the patient's course was complicated by a bacterial pneumonia. Recovery from the acute phase of the syndrome was rapid and without further complication.
