Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) with Bilateral Optic Neuritis and Central White Matter Disease
Neurol 43:842-843, Nadkarni,M.&Lisak,R.P., 1993
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
A patient with acute Guillain-Barre syndrome(GBS),recovering following plasmapheresis,developed bilateral optic neuritis with extensive CNS white matter lesions on MRI.This illness was associated with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection.The rare association of GMS with CNS disease raises a possibility of a shared pathogenic CNS and PNS epitope in these cases.
