RESUMO

The case of a 52 years-old man, with typical findings of lumbar disc disease is reported. The radiological investigation was negative and albuminocytologic dissociation in cerebrospinal fluid was detected. The clinical course was similar to Guillain-Barré syndrome which was completely solved by treatment with steroids. Brief comments on clinical aspects of that syndrome are made.
