Information about their frequency in GBS mimics is sparse. <jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>: Evaluation of electrodiagnostic features from 38 patients with suspected GBS in whom the diagnosis was later refuted (GBS mimics). Their diagnostic accuracy was analyzed by comparison with nerve conduction studies (NCS) from 73 confirmed GBS patients. <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>: Disorders that mimicked GBS clinically at the time of hospital admission included other inflammatory, metabolic, toxic, or infectious neuropathies and spinal cord disorders. The sural sparing pattern was the most specific electrodiagnostic feature for demyelinating GBS. <jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>: Common electrodiagnostic abnormalities in early demyelinating GBS do not usually exclude other rare differential diagnoses. An exception to this is the sural sparing pattern described here, which strongly supports the diagnosis of demyelinating GBS. <jats:italic>Muscle Nerve<\/jats:italic> <jats:bold>50<\/jats:bold>: 780\u2013784, 2014<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.24226","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,2,26]],"date-time":"2014-02-26T04:38:39Z","timestamp":1393389519000},"page":"780-784","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":78,"title":["Sural sparing pattern discriminates Guillain\u2013Barr\u00e9 syndrome from its mimics"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"50","author":[{"given":"Angelika","family":"Derksen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology University D\u00fcsseldorf, Medical Faculty D\u00fcsseldorf Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christian","family":"Ritter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology University Hospital of Cologne Cologne Germany"},{"name":"Institute of Neuroscience and Medicine (INM\u20103) Forschungszentrum J\u00fclich J\u00fclich Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Parveen","family":"Athar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology University of Texas Medical School at Houston Houston Texas USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bernd C.","family":"Kieseier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology University D\u00fcsseldorf, Medical Faculty D\u00fcsseldorf Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pedro","family":"Mancias","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology University of Texas Medical School at Houston Houston Texas USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hans\u2010Peter","family":"Hartung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology University D\u00fcsseldorf, Medical Faculty D\u00fcsseldorf Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kazim A.","family":"Sheikh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology University of Texas Medical School at Houston Houston Texas USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Helmar C.","family":"Lehmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology University Hospital of Cologne Cologne Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMra1114525"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1474-4422(08)70215-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.880170415"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.vaccine.2010.06.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ana.410440512"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1468-1331.1999.610071.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jnnp.2005.064816"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.20022"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.880080609"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.880120602"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ana.410270706"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.clinph.2004.05.009"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archneur.58.6.913"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1529-8027.2011.00338.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0924-980X(97)96626-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neucli.2004.09.005"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.nmd.2006.07.001"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1212\/WNL.58.12.1769"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_20_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jnnp.2010.208538"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_21_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.clinph.2012.05.023"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_22_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.20660"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_23_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.20342"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_24_1","first-page":"251","article-title":"The sural sensory nerve is usually spared in Guillain\u2013Barre syndrome","volume":"44","author":"Wee AS","year":"2003","journal-title":"J Miss State Med Assoc"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_25_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1474-4422(13)70215-1"}],"container-title":["Muscle &amp;
