Few cases have been reported.Case ReportWe report two patients who have developed a recurrent Guillain-Barré syndrome where one or even two episodes occurred after the same type of surgery, a hip prosthesis replacement.DiscussionOccurrence of Guillain-Barré syndrome after surgery has mainly been reported in relation to epidural anesthesia and less frequently general anesthesia. Although underlying pathogenic mechanisms remain unknown, a molecular mimicry phenomenon has been proposed.
