Three cases are presented which illustrate the possible difficulties in differentiating between the diagnoses of Guillain-Barre Syndrome and conversion disorder. Accepted criteria are specified for each condition, as well as some associated features often characteristic of similar cases. Supportive interdisciplinary treatment for Guillain-Barre Syndrome is reviewed, and an interdisciplinary multi-modal approach to treatment of conversion disorder is described.
