AB  - Background. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS) are 
      autoimmune demyelinating disorders of Central and Peripheral Nervous system, 
      respectively. The coexistence of these two syndromes in an individual's life span 
      is rare. Objectives. To inspect throughout Isfahan MS society (IMSS) records for 
      MS cases who had history of documented GBS whether before the onset of MS or 
      after it. Methods. This retrospective survey was carried out by analyzing the 
      clinical records of 3,522 MS patients who were registered with IMSS, from April 
      2003 to July 2010. Eligible cases were requested to attend to IMSS for final 
      clinical/paraclinical examinations. Results. Among 3,522 (2,716 women and 806 
      men) MS subjects, we could identify seven patients (six females and one male) 
      with documented diagnosis of GBS. Six patients (five women and one man) had 
      developed MS within 6.5 +/- 7.0 (range: 1-16) years after being diagnosed with GBS 
      and one (a woman) had developed GBS three years after the diagnosis of MS. 
      Conclusion. It seems that the development of MS in individuals with history of 
      GBS is more than a simple incidental event.
