[Plasmapheresis and high-dose immunoglobulins in the treatment of acute demyelinating polyneuropathy].

: The authors report two clinical cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome, treated with contemporaneous use of plasmapheresis and high dose gammaglobulin. An early diagnosis and immediate application of such a therapeutic association, are of paramount importance in order to obtain remission of the neurologic symptomatology within a short time. They report the therapies carried out to avoid complications connected with this syndrome as well as cause which led to quit steroid use in these patients.
