Guillain-Barre Syndrome is a well described acute demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy with a likely autoimmune basis characterized by progressive ascending muscle paralysis. Classically, GBS is attributed to antecedent upper respiratory and gastrointestinal infections. We present the first case of GBS after Robotically Assisted Laparoscopic Prostatectomy using the daVinci(®) Surgical System.

This report deals with an elderly lady with Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS), who presented with features of unusually severe hyponatraemia. The hyponatraemia was probably due to the syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH). The hyponatraemia resolved with water restriction and infusion of hypertonic saline; GBS was treated with human immunoglobulin (IVIG). This patient'...

The Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS) is an acute immune mediated progressive polyneuropathy having monophasic illness leading to paralysis. clinical features are ascending symmetrical muscle weakness that may lead respiratory failure. Diagnosis based upon presentation and supported by a lumbar puncture with CSF analysis demonstrating albumin cytological dissociation electrophysiological studies. O...
