ABSTRACT
Rationale To report a case of cervicobrachial variant of acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy presenting with papilledema and GQ1b positivity. Patient concern A 35-year-old female, 68 days postpartum, presented with headache, vomiting, and gait difficulty in swallowing with bilateral upper limb weakness and difficulty in walking, 13 days after ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccination. Diagnosis Guillain-Barre syndrome with GQ1b positivity. Intervention Five cycles of plasmapheresis were given. Outcome:
The patient's clinical condition improved. Palatal weakness improved and she could walk without support. There were mild sensory symptoms involving upper limbs which gradually improved.
