Abstract

Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) is an acute demyelinating polyneuropathy. It is usually preceded by an infection. Typically, GBS presents with progressive symmetric weakness with diminished reflexes. Autonomic involvement is also frequent. Here, we report a case of atypical GBS presentation in a 57-year-old man following lumbar stenosis surgery. The patient presented with a fluctuating thoracic sensory level and preserved reflexes until well into his motor symptoms. Atypical presentations after surgery and with spinal sensory levels are uncommon but require acute recognition and treatment.
