Table 3.

Nerve conduction study reveals normal onset latency (which is a function of neuronal myelination) with significantly reduced amplitude in the lower extremity nerves suggesting axonal degeneration or death in these nerves, a finding suggestive of axonal form of Guillain Barre syndrome. Please note that these changes were not seen in the upper extremity nerves.
