Acute onset of Guillain-Barré syndrome after multiple spine surgeries: A rare case report

Guillain‑Barré syndrome is an autoimmune disorder presented by ascending paralysis and areflexia. The condition has been reported after many infections, but Guillain‑Barré syndrome after spine surgery is rare. We, herein, present a case of Guillain‑Barré syndrome after multiple spine surgeries for degenerative lumbar scoliosis. A 60‑year‑old woman with degenerative scoliosis underwent surgery for the third time and developed Guillain‑Barré syndrome 3 weeks after the final operation. The patient received intravenous immune globulin therapy and needed mechanical ventilation and intensive care. She was discharged in good condition after 5 weeks.
