Paraparetic variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome after epidural anaesthesia.

Epidural procedures are widely used as an analgesic adjunct in various surgeries, allowing for a reduction in the use of opioids and the avoidance of their side effects. According to the third National Audit Project in the United Kingdom, the incidence of serious complications related to epidural puncture is very low. A case is presented of a 66-year-old woman who underwent surgery for ovarian oncological pathology and developed, as a complication of neuroaxial anaesthesia in the postoperative period, a sensory-motor disorder limited to the lower limbs, compatible with the paraparesis variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome.
