Resumen
Las enfermedades de nervio periférico son relativamente frecuentes en los pacientes críticos. Dichas condiciones se pueden dividir en aquellas que llevan al ingreso a la UCI (primarias) o las que resultan de otras enfermedades sistémicas de base (secundarias). El síndrome de Guillain-Barré-Landry es la entidad primaria más común. La polineuromiopatía de cuidado crítico es tal vez la entidad secundaria de mayor incidencia. Es esta revisión se incluyen estas enfermedades y también la porfiria intermitente aguda. Si presentan los rasgos más sobresalientes de dichos síndromes, sus etiologías, y tratamientos.
