Published in: Clinical case reports (2021)
Guillain-Barré syndrome incidence within 8 weeks of a surgical procedure appears to be more common than previously thought. GBS following open-heart surgery is exceedingly rare, perhaps underdiagnosed or underreported given surveillance data incidence. Clinicians should be keenly aware of this association and quickly consider a GBS diagnosis.
