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

## TL;DR

This paper reports a rare case of Guillain-Barré Syndrome recurrence in an elderly woman with only nausea and vomiting, not typical motor symptoms.

## Contribution

The novelty lies in highlighting an atypical recurrence of GBS with non-motor symptoms in an elderly patient.

## Key findings

- GBS can recur with non-motor symptoms like nausea and vomiting in elderly patients.
- Atypical presentations of GBS may delay or complicate diagnosis.
- Non-motor symptoms should be considered in patients with prior GBS history.

## Abstract

Guillain-Barré 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.
