Abstract
Guillain-Barre’ syndrome (GBS) is an acute autoimmune, inflammatory, demyelinating disease affecting the peripheral nervous system, responsible for a typical ascending flaccid paralysis with the classic albuminocytological dissociation in the cerebrospinal fluid. Its occurrence during pregnancy is a rare eventuality. Through the clinical observation of a 33-year-old pregnant woman who had GBS during third trimester and a literature review, we will study the clinical, diagnostic, therapeutic and maternal-fetal prognostic aspects of this pathology during pregnancy.
