Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an autoimmune-mediated peripheral neuropathy characterized by symmetric weakness. Asymmetric weakness in GBS is uncommon and may be easily confused with other differential diagnoses. We herein present three cases of asymmetric GBS and review the literature on this atypical subtype of GBS in order to describe the characteristics of asymmetric GBS and to provide experience for clinicians.
