Popis:	The pharyngeal cervical brachial (PCB) variant of Guillain-Barre-syndrome (GBS) is defined by rapidly progressive oropharyngeal and cervicobrachial weakness associated with areflexia in upper limbs. On nerve conduction study PCB represents a localized subtype of GBS characterized by axonal rather than demyelinating neuropathy. PCB is often misdiagnosed as brainstem stroke, myasthenia gravis or botulism. Herein we describe a case of symmetric descending type of acute flaccid paralysis with predominant upper limb involvement and also lower limb involvement diagnosed as a PCB- GBS overlap mainly based on nerve conduction study.
