Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), an acute demyelinating inflammatory poliradiculopathy, is characterised by rapidly progressive, symmetrical, ascending weakness and areflexia. The disease usually occurs after 1-3 weeks of infection, vaccinations, trauma, surgical interventions and immunosuppression. Facial diplegia and paraesthesia which is a rare GBS variant has no weakness whereas, GBS is present with weakness which usually begins from lower extremities. In this article, three cases were presented to emphasise the importance of GBS in patients with facial diplegia.
