Their age ranged from 15 to 60 years (the median age was 52 years), and six patients were males. The potential traumatic triggers included spinal surgery (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20092), high-intensity exercise (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20092), traumatic brain injury (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20091), excessive fatigue (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20091), ischemic stroke (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20091), and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20091). The major manifestation was symmetrical limb weakness and\/or numbness in all patients. The diagnosis of GBS was based on the results of electromyography, albumino-cytological dissociation, or antiganglioside antibody in cerebrospinal fluid, and other diseases were excluded. Immunotherapy improved symptoms, except in one patient who died.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Trauma is a probable risk factor for GBS that is very easily overlooked, thereby leading to misdiagnosis in clinical practice. We emphasize a new concept of post-traumatic GBS to promote doctors' awareness when they meet people with weakness and sensory deficits after trauma, which benefit early diagnosis, timely treatment, and reduced mortality rate of GBS.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fsurg.2022.903334","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,25]],"date-time":"2022-08-25T06:25:02Z","timestamp":1661408702000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Case
