ABSTRACT
The pure motor variant of Guillain-Barre syndrome (PMGBS) has features of rapidly progressive, symmetric limb paralysis and areflexia, and lacks any sensory symptoms or signs. The PMGBS initially presenting with hemiparesis is very rare. We report a 59 year-old-male who presented with left-sided weakness 1 day prior to admission, and with right-sided weakness about 2 days following admission. In our case, clinical features and electrophysiological tests were consistent with an atypical PMGBS.
