A Rare Recurrence of Guillain-Barré Syndrome in a 72-Year-Old Female Presenting With Nausea and Vomiting Only.

Publication date: Jun 01, 2025

Guillain-BarrcE9 syndrome (GBS) is a neurological disorder that typically presents with ascending paralysis. However, atypical presentations can complicate the diagnostic process. We describe the case of a 72-year-old female with a prior history of GBS who presented with intractable nausea and vomiting without classic motor symptoms. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges of recognizing atypical GBS recurrence, particularly in elderly patients, and shows the importance of considering non-motor symptoms in patients with a previous history of GBS.
