We describe two unrelated children with almost identical clinical illnesses comprising of severe, burning dysesthesia, allodynia, hypertensive encephalopathy, and laboratory evidence of both sympathetic and parasympathetic autonomic disturbance after a nonspecific viral illness. No underlying etiology was identified. Both patients displayed complete resolution of their clinical and radiologic findings after a number of months, and there was no recurrence over a follow-up period of 17 months to 4 years. Treatment of the patients' dysesthesias proved difficult, requiring multiple analgesics and intensive physiotherapy. We speculate that their illnesses may represent a pure autonomic variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome.
