Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a rare autoimmune disorder. GBS is normally caused by demyelination and axonal degeneration resulting in acute polyradiculoneuropathy. The incidence of GBS has been documented as 12–19 per million population with an incidence of 6-24/ one lakh cases reported in pregnancy. The common presentation of GBS is progressive motor weakness and loss of reflexes. Here we report a case of a young female who shows signs of GBS in the post-partum period.
