Guillain–Barré syndrome has been reported in the setting of different malignancies. To the best of our knowledge, the association of Guillain–Barré syndrome and colorectal cancer has been reported in only two cases. As Guillain–Barré syndrome is potentially life threatening, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with colorectal cancer with neurological findings. Here we report two cases of Guillain–Barré syndrome in the setting of metastatic colorectal cancer.
