ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT A hundred years ago, Guillain, Barré and Strohl described a syndrome with a predominant motor acute or subacute polyneuritis, albumin-cytologic dissociation in the cerebrospinal fluid, and a benign course. Before them, many other authors, such as Landry, Duménil, Osler, and Grainger Stewart had described similar cases although they had not performed lumbar punctures. In this work, we outline certain features of the beginning of this famous syndrome.
RESUMO
RESUMO Há 100 anos três médicos franceses, Guillain, Barré e Strohl descreveram um tipo de polineuropatia aguda ou subaguda de predomínio motor com dissociação albumino-citológica no líquido cefalorraquiano e de evolução benigna. Antes destes, outros autores, como Landry, Duménil, Chomel, Osler e Grainger Stewart, estudaram casos similares, porém não realizaram punção lombar. Neste trabalho procuramos sintetizar alguns fatos importantes no início da descrição desta síndrome.
