Abstract

Blood pressure fluctuations due to the autonomic disturbances in Guillain–Barre syndrome (GBS) have been described in previous reports and may develop to a life-threatening condition. We here report a GBS patient who presented severe blood pressure fluctuations and was successfully treated with intravenous immunoglobulin. A 75-year-old woman was admitted to the emergency department of our hospital for rapidly evolving weakness, preceded ten days by a respiratory infection. She had a history of hypertension with systolic blood pressure (SBP) of around 140 mm Hg, but her SBP on admission was above 200 mm Hg.
