Guillain-Barré SyndromeGuillain-Barrè Syndrome (GBS) or acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP) is one of the most frequent emergencies in the neuromuscular field. With the almost complete disappearance of poliomyelitis, the AIDP is now the most common cause of acute flaccid paralysis in healthy individuals.

VasculitisThe neuropathies associated with vasculitis occur more often as multiple asymmetric mononeuropathies of the four limbs, less frequently as asymmetric axonal polyneuropathies and even more rarely take on the characteristics of axonal, symmetrical, distal, length-dependent polyneuropathy [1].

Malignant HyperthermiaMalignant Hyperthermia (MH) is a pharmacogenetic disorder of skeletal muscle, a “pharmacogenetics” myopathy [1, 2]. Patients are predisposed to develop a serious state of muscle hypermetabolism during general anaesthesia, such as halogen-containing volatile anaesthetics and/or succinylcholine.
