Acute polyradiculoneuritis relapses rarely, and autonomic nerve involvement is less frequent than motor cranial nerve involvement. An 11-year-old boy exhibited acute relapsing polyradiculoneuritis associated with two types of autonomic dysfunction of pupils 6 months after the onset of the disease. Parasympathetic dysfunction of pupils with ocular palsies preceded neuropathy of limbs at the onset. Thereafter, sympathetic dysfunction of pupils without ocular palsies was revealed by pupillography at the 2nd attack of limb palsies.
