 Among Sudanese Cases&description=<i>Aim of the study: </i> This study aiming to identify the acute inflammatory polyneuropathy; Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) and its pattern of Neurophysiologic disorders among Sudanese population. <i>Material and Methods:</i> Study design: This study is a retrospective analytical hospital base study. <i>Study area: </i> The study has been conducted in Khartoum neurological clinic. Population and sampling: Study population was all Sudanese patients suffering from Gillian Barry Syndrome (GBS) attended neurology clinic, during the period from January 2011 to December 2014. The sample size was 91 subjects. Neurophysiological data (Nerve Conduction Study, Electromyelogram and Evoked Potential tests Results) were considered in collection of data. The Data has been processed and analyzed using SPSS 20(statistical package for social sciences). <i>Results:</i> A review of 3years records of Khartoum neurology clinic revel 569 patients of different neurological problems, there were 91 patients with GBS, 88 were GBS and 3 were primary axonal loss. <i>Conclusion:</i> Acute axonal loss represent the least manifestation among GBS Sudanese patients were Mononeuropathies according to our study.&picture=http://www.aascit.org/aascit/decorators/img/journal/906.jpg)
