description Tuberculosis being a global pandemic causes an array of neurological presentations ranging from tuberculoma, meningitis, radiculomyelitis, brain abscess, and so on.Association of Guillain-Barre syndrome with tuberculosis has been reported five to six times in the past. The authors report a case of a young female with tubercular meningitis on antitubercular therapy and steroids who went on to develop acute areflexic quadriparesis and diagnosed as a case of acute motor sensory axonal neuropathy variety of acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP) who responded positively to plasmapheresis. The authors present the first case of an association between tubercular meningitis and subsequent development of AIDP.
