Barium poisoning mimicking Guillain-Barre syndrome.

Vandana Talwar1, Neelkamal Mehndiratta, P K Verma.   

Abstract

Barium poisoning is an important cause of areflexic quadriplegia associated with hypokalemia. Presenting features may mimic Guillain-Barre syndrome. A high index of suspicion of barium poisoning in two patients who presented with features resembling Guillain-Barre syndrome, led to timely management and early recovery in both the cases.
