Abstract
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was observed in a 24 year-old fe male following severe Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS). A review of the l iterature uncovered no previously mentioned examples of PTSD resulting from GBS or other medical illnesses. GBS-induced PTSD shared the feat ures of PTSD seen following other traumatic events.
