Electrophysiological classification of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is important for predicting its clinical course; however, few reports discuss GBS patients who do not conform to the acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP) or acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN) classifications. Therefore, the present study assessed the features of unclassified types of GBS and compared them to those of AIDP and AMAN. We compared clinical symptoms, nerve conduction, and laboratory data among patients with AIDP, AMAN, and unclassified subtypes of GBS, according to criteria developed by Rajabally, Hadden, and Ho. According to the Rajabally criteria, the F wave frequency in the upper and lower extremities was higher in the unclassified subgroup than in the AIDP and AMAN subgroups; however, according to the Hadden and Ho criteria, the F wave frequency in only the lower extremities was higher in the unclassified subgroup than in the other subgroups. The unclassified subgroup showed better prognosis using the Rajabally criteria. Classification with the Rajabally criteria is useful for predicting prognosis and determining treatment in patients with GBS. Moreover, unclassified patients exhibit the quickest recovery.
