DDx:
- Anterior horn degeneration: Polio/SMA (congenital). LMN weakness + decreased reflexes. NOT RAPID ONSET/ASCENTION. NO autonomic or sensory sx.
-Axonal polyneuropathy = spinal nerve root axons. motor sx only or motor + sensory sx. Reflexes preserved. Autonomic sx less likely. Dx: nerve conduction studies.

= GBS. (AI DP) attack of spinal nerve roots. acute, symmetric ascending weakness + hyporeflexia. +/- Autonomic dysfxn +/- sensory sx. LP shows CSF = ^ protein, normal cell counts.
