Pembrolizumab-associated Guillain-Barre syndrome in a patient with endometrial cancer: A case report
Objective
Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS) is a rare yet potentially life-threatening adverse event of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). It classically presents with ascending symmetric weakness, areflexia, and distal sensory loss. We present a case of pembrolizumab-induced GBS in a patient with advanced endometrial cancer.
Methods
All information was obtained via chart review with patient consent.
Results
A 77-year-old female with stage IIIC1 grade 3 endometrioid endometrial cancer received received carboplatin, paclitaxel, and pembrolizumab. After 5 cycles, she developed progressive bilateral lower-extremity paresthesias, sensory loss, areflexia, and distal weakness. Lumbar puncture demonstrated albuminocytologic dissociation, and electromyography confirmed acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy. Pembrolizumab was discontinued, and the patient received intravenous immunoglobulin with improvement.
Conclusion
This case highlights the importance of early recognition of GBS. ICI discontinuation and rapid initiation of treatment are essential to avoid life-threatening complications and optimize patient outcomes.
