Abstract

Introduction: Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS) is a rare occurrence in medicine, and possibly even rarer in pregnancies, with an incidence of 1.7/100.000 pregnancies. GBS occurrence in pregnancy is associated with an increased need for ventilatory support and increased maternal mortality. Methods: we describe herein how a case of a 25 year old multiparous at term gestation with GBS was managed in the perioperative period. Results: discussion of the case. Conclusions: there are no established guidelines for the anesthetic management of a pregnant GBS patient.
