Guillain‐Barré syndrome associated with CASPR2 antibodies: two paediatric cases

We report 2 cases of ganglioside antibody‐negative paediatric GBS associated with CASPR2 antibodies. Both patients made a full clinical recovery. The tissue distribution and function of CASPR2 make it a biologically plausible autoimmune target in GBS and its clincial relevance in GBS should be determined in further studies.
