Tóm tắt

Postsurgical Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an unrecognized and uncommon complication seen in children. Postsurgical GBS complicated by severe acute hypertension secondary to dysautonomia can present as seizures because of underlying posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome. The neuropathic symptoms of GBS following surgery are often missed and attributed to other postoperative problems like sedation and postoperative pain. Here, we report a challenging case of seizures in the postoperative period that was due to autonomic dysfunction secondary to GBS following bowel surgery.
