Bickerstaff's brainstem encephalitis with overlapping Guillain-Barré syndrome: Usefulness of sequential nerve conduction studies.

abstract：:A large body of experience has been compiled in different countries, documenting the efficacy of adenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) for infantile spasms. This is important, because it may serve as a key for understanding this disorder, as well as for designing better medicines. However, significant discrepancies exist ...
