Pune doctors encounter rare Guillain-Barré Syndrome case

Doctors in Pune discovered a rare case of Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) in a woman who initially presented with severe vomiting and abdominal issues, rather than the typical limb paralysis. This atypical presentation highlights the need for awareness of GBS's varied symptoms. The 45-year-old patient was admitted after three days of vomiting. Initial tests suggested a gastrointestinal disorder, but her condition worsened, prompting further investigation. A neurologist suspected GBS, which was confirmed by nerve damage tests. After starting treatment for GBS, the patient's condition remained critical. Doctors decided to perform a bypass surgery to address intestinal issues caused by GBS. Following the surgery, her health improved, and she was discharged after more than a month in the hospital.
