A rapid onset of Guillain–Barre syndrome following spinal anesthesia for knee arthroscopy: a case report

This case highlights the challenges of diagnosing early post-surgical Guillain-Barré syndrome, which can present atypically and without classical cerebrospinal fluid findings. However, early recognition, multidisciplinary collaboration, and timely intravenous immunoglobulin therapy facilitated a favorable outcome. This report highlights the challenges of diagnosing early post-surgical Guillain-Barré syndrome and demonstrates the potential for complete recovery with prompt intervention, emphasizing the need for awareness and timely management in similar cases.
