Guillain‐Barré syndrome (GBS) with bilateral optic neuritis and central white matter disease

Abstract
A patient with acute Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), recovering following plasmapheresis, developed bilateral optic neuritis with extensive CNS white matter lesions on MRI. This illness was associated with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. The rare association of GBS with CNS disease raises a possibility of a shared pathogenic CNS and PNS epitope in these cases.
