Abstract
We consider the pathophysiology, diagnostic features, assessment, differential diagnoses and management of GBS. This article will also outline the spectrum of the disease. Most of the research on GBS has been based on adult or predominantly adult studies, so there has been unavoidable extrapolation with respect to GBS in children and young people.Keywords
