Abstract: Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is generally considered to be
monophasic, but it may recur after interval of many years in 2–6% of
patients. Patients with GBS usually experience the same pattern in a
recurrence, despite the severity of the symptoms and the nature of the
preceding infections varied. However, we present a patient who developed first
episode of GBS as acute generalized weakness and areflexia in the four limbs
and pharyngeal-cervical-brachial variant of GBS on second episode.
