Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Guillain-Barr? syndrome (GBS)-complicating pregnancy is rare; and it is generally believed that it carries a high maternal risk. We reported a case of good maternal and fetal outcomes of predominantly sensory GBS (generalized pain and numbness, mild deep sensory ataxia, positive serum IgM anti-GalNAcGD1a antibody)-complicating pregnancy after intravenous immunoglobulin treatment.
