Zusammenfassung:We describe the case of a 34-year-old male patient, who was referred to the Instituto Neurológico de Colombia with probable Guillain-Barré syndrome, requiring intensive care management.

We aim to describe the patient's treatment and evolution, as well as a brief review and discussion.
