Landry-Guillain-Barré-Strohl syndrome or polyradiculoneuritis in children is becoming more common. The clinical picture is variable, it may be manifested by motor and sensory findings or by a combination of peripheral and cranial nerve signs and symptoms. This is a report of 60 patients observed at the DIF Children's Hospital between 1971 and 1977. The most significant early predictor of eventual incomplete recovery was the time required for improvement to begin after the maximum involvement was reached.
