Abstract

Apart from the usual differentials of transverse myelitis and cord compression, paraparetic GBS should be considered when sudden, flaccid paralysis of the lower limbs occurs, as prompt diagnosis and management can minimize sequel and unnecessary procedures. We do report a case wherein we managed a similar situation without the use of an immunomodulatory therapy.
