description Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) can occur after viral infections. Its occurrence after COVID-19 infection in the peripartum period is a very rare co-occurrence. Therefore, there are no guidelines for the management of these patients. We report the case of a 32-year-old pregnant woman who developed COVID-19-associated GBS with aspiration pneumonia, motor weakness, and ascending paralysis at 39 weeks of gestation. Preoperative plasmatic exchange (plasmapheresis) and oxygen support were very effective and allowed for a rapid recovery within five days. Because of foetal distress during labor, the patient had a caesarean section under spinal anaesthesia with no maternal complications or adverse foetal outcomes.
