چکیده
Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS) off late has been the most frequent cause of acute flaccid paralysis worldwide, replacing poliomyelitis which dominated in the past few decades. A 4 months old female infant was presented with sudden onset; nonprogressive weakness of both lower limbs with areflexia and urinary retention such clinical features consistent with Guillain Barre Syndrome. She was treated with immunoglobulin 0.4gm per kg per day for 5 days and responded well to treatment and started recovery after two weeks. Though Guillain Barre Syndrome is uncommon before six months of life, it should be suspect in infant those presented with bilateral and relatively symmetric weakness with hyporeflexia or areflexia with preceding antecedent events.
