Abstract

Pregnancy entails physiological changes and these predispose to neurological pathologies, some of them very specific, changes in the neuroimmune system can predispose the pregnant patient to autoimmune pathologies. Guillain-Barré in pregnancy must be clinically differentiated from other pathologies for early diagnosis and early treatment, especially in the postpartum period or immediate cesarean section.

The aim of this article is to describe the clinical appearance of a patient with Guillain-Barré after cesarean section, whose manifestations occurred immediately after an anesthetic blockade, whose symptoms stabilized with the use of immunoglobulins. Avoiding all medico-legal repercussions.

 Keywords: Guillain-Barré; Immediate Postpartum Cesarean Section; Immunoglobulins
