Seven cases of subacute idiopathic demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy had
a monophasic illness characterized by progressive weakness of all four
limbs that evolved during 4 to 8 weeks. Neurophysiological investigations
implied demyelination in all seven cases. In two patients, sural nerve
biopsy specimens that were taken showed macrophage-associated
demyelination. All patients made substantial or complete recoveries with
oral prednisolone (four cases) or without treatment (three cases). None of
the patients required ventilation or had autonomic complications. These
cases provide a link between the acute idiopathic demyelinating form of
Guillain-Barre syndrome and chronic idiopathic demyelinating
polyradiculoneuropathy.
