ABSTRACT
Guillain-Barré syndrome has been defined as a post-infectious immune-mediated polyneuropathy. COVID-19 usually presents with respiratory symptoms but can less commonly present with extra-respiratory manifestations such as neurological symptoms. Few cases were published in the literature regarding post-COVID-19 infection Guillain-Barré in the pediatric age group. In this paper, we present a 13-year-old male with possible Guillain-Barré syndrome occurring 2 weeks after a presumed COVID-19 infection. We conducted a systematic review and searched for published pediatric cases until March 2022. We included 35 patients in 25 publications.
