MRI and Electrophoresis Findings in Patients with Traumatic Injury (A) and Guillain-Barre Syndrome (B-D): (A) The Sagittal T2-weighted MRI of a 3-year-old boy who suffered from a traffic injury. The red arrow indicates a visible injury at the C7-C8 vertebral level, suggesting a spinal cord injury secondary to the accident. (B) The Sagittal T2-weighted MRI of a 17-year-old girl with GBS. Yellow arrows highlight spinal nerve root enhancement at the T10 and T11 vertebral levels, indicating inflammation and demyelination associated with GBS. (C) Yellow arrows in the Axial T2-weighted MRI indicate nerve root enhancements, consistent with the inflammatory process of GBS. (D) The gel of cerebrospinal fluid protein electrophoresis shows an abnormal gamma (γ) band, indicative of an immune response, the autoimmune nature of GBS.
