Conversion disorder is a diagnosis based on a psychological construct that currently has no known neurobiologic substrate. But It is not easy to differentiate a real conversion disorder from a neurological disease or other medical disease. A patient in this case report had been diagnosed as conversion disorder but later it was found that the conversion disorder was misdiagnosis. During the 7 days of treatment, this patient was treated by herb medication, acupuncture and TENS and bad a little improvement. Both way, this patient was evaluated and evantually was diagnosed as Guillain-Barre Syndrome Miller-Fisber Variant, suggesting that the former diagnosis bad been a mistake.
