Abstract
Guillain–Barré syndrome is acute, frequently severe fulminant polyradiculoneuropathy characterized by areflexic motor paralysis with/without sensory disturbance. We report a rare case of post-renal transplant (RT) Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS) in a 34-year-old male, who presented with sudden onset of ascending pattern paralysis of lower limbs (LL) without bowel/bladder involvement. The diagnosis was confirmed by neurological examination and nerve conduction velocity (NCV) studies. He was treated with IV immunoglobulin and recovered completely.
