    Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) can develop following intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), complicating diagnosis and treatment.

    The review identified 23 cases of GBS post-ICH from 11 countries, with a mean patient age of 60.1 years.

  • 3

    GBS onset occurred a median of 9 days after ICH, with intracerebral hemorrhage being the most common antecedent.

  • 4

    Electrophysiological findings showed predominantly axonal variants, associated with severe clinical outcomes and high rates of respiratory failure.

    Among patients treated with immunomodulatory therapy, 14.3% achieved complete recovery, while 9.5% died by the last follow-up.
