Overview

MRI

  • MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of Guillain Barre syndrome. Findings on MRI suggestive of Guillain Barre syndrome include:[1]
    • Anterior and posterior nerve root enhancement.
    • cauda equina enhancement.

NOTE: The underlying etiology of these findings is blood brain barrier disruption due to inflammation.
