The exact pathogenesis of the ophthalmoplegic form of the Guillain‐Barre syndrome is not understood. Detailed immunologic studies in a classical case of this entity showed cell‐mediated immunity to peripheral nerve antigens but not to central myelin antigens. It is concluded thas this syndrome is a true variant of Guillain‐Barre polyneuritis and that the lesions are peripheral and not central as often postulated.
