Guillain–Barre Syndrome following lower segment caesarean section under spinal anesthesia: A case report

Abstract

Abstract Symptoms of Guillain–Barre Syndrome (GBS) may be mistaken for typical puerperal changes, delaying diagnosis. Surgery and anesthesia may be triggers for GBS with an overall increase in pro‐inflammatory cytokines in the postpartum period. We report a unique case of GBS in the postpartum period who made a good recovery with supportive measures.
