Guillain–Barré syndrome during pregnancy: A case series

Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS) in pregnancy may be a serious disease associated with high maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Herein, we present the long‐term maternal and fetal outcomes of five pregnant GBS patients from our center. The mean age of pregnant GBS patients was 29.8 ± 3.1. Two patients had a severe disability at admission. Three patients were treated with intravenous immunoglobulins, while the remaining two were treated with symptomatic therapy. One year after disease onset, one patient had a mild disability, while the remaining four had normal neurological findings. All babies born were healthy and developed normally. GBS in pregnancy may affect both maternal and neonatal outcomes. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for the outcome. Most patients and their babies have a favorable long‐term outcome.
