Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) is an acute demyelinating polyneuropathy with symmetrical weakness characterized by loss of
sensation and reflexes. During pregnancy the morbidity and mortality of GBS is high. GBS patients are prone to acute respiratory
failure due to weaknes of respiratory muscles, hypotension associated with autonomic dysfunction, hemodynamic instability such
as the development of hypertension and arrhythmia. Patients may need intensive care. The anesthetic technique for pregnant
women with Guillain-Barre syndrome requiring cesarean section remains at discretion of the anesthesiologist, who should be
guided by the clinical conditions and comorbidities of each patient. Therefore, we aimed to present the anesthetic management of
cesarean planned in a GBS case.
