Guillain-Barré Syndrome During the Postpartum Period
Copyright © 2020, Aabdi et al..
Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an acute peripheral neuropathy that manifests with ascending symmetrical and progressive weakness or paralysis with the absence of reflexes. The incidence of this syndrome in pregnancy and postpartum periods is similar to the general population; however, few published clinical cases have been described. Here, we report the case of a 26-year-old patient who developed GBS with respiratory distress two weeks after her baby's delivery that required long-term mechanical ventilation. The patient's clinical conditions were significantly improved after the use of immunoglobulins and rehabilitation, and she was discharged. Physicians should be aware of the possibility of developing GBS during pregnancy and postpartum periods.
