Guillain-Barre syndrome in a patient suffering acute myocardial infarction

We report on a patient with acute neurologic disorder, i.e. Guillain-Barre syndrome, successfully treated by plasmapheresis. The patient suffered a myocardial infarction, which has neither been defined nor descriebed in the available literature as a causative event for acute polyradiculoneuropathy, but merely a random observation. The course of the disease in the patient was complicated by pulmonary infection which we presumed to be a precipitating factor for the occurrence of Gullain-Barre syndrome.
