Abstract:
Aim: Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is a rare condition in which a person's immune system attacks the peripheral nerve. The visual system can also be affected in GBS patients. The aim of present work is to look for visual pathway, disturbances in these patients using visual evoked potential (VEP).

Material and Methods: 10 male patients (20 eyes) diagnosed as GBS in age range of 25 to 56 years were selected for the purpose of present study. Visual evoked potential (VEP) using pattern type of stimulation was tested in total patient group using Mangoni machine. The results obtained was compared with 10 normal sex and age matched population following VEP test.

Results: There was not statistically significant differences as far as demographical finding was concerned between case and control groups. There was a significant difference was observed in latency and amplitude of VEP, P100 Peak between case and control groups (P<0.001 for both parameters).

Conclusion: Guillain barre syndrome can affects the visual pathway of visual system which can be measured by VEP
