Description

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an acute autoimmune polyneuropathy that typically presents with progressive weakness, gait disturbances, and areflexia. Its presentation in pediatric patients can be variable, leading to delays or challenges with diagnosis. This case follows a 7-year-old boy initially diagnosed with migraines due to recurrent headaches and vomiting with unremarkable CT results. His condition progressed to ataxia and left-sided weakness, ultimately leading to admission and diagnosis of GBS.
