Abstract
We report on a case of a 4 years-old girl with mild difficulty in walking associated with pain in the foot and progressive weakness. The uncertain walking, not clearly ataxic, unusual signs of Guillain-Barr Syndrome, leads us to several tests, in particular lumbar puncture which allowed us to make the correct diagnosis. Treatment performed with immunoglobulins has led to a rapid resolution of the case.
