Abstract

Functional neurological disorders (FND) are characterized by neurologic symptoms that are inconsistent with structural neurological disease. Some FNDs can closely mimic acute neuromuscular conditions, often creating diagnostic challenges. We present a case of FND masquerading as GBS with acute flaccid paralysis. The relevant medical literature is discussed.
