Abstract

The complex degenerative neurological condition known as Guillain- Barre syndrome (GBS) can be acute in origin. It is an acquired syndrome that manifests as gradual, symmetrical tingling and weakening both
proximally and distally. There is often sensory loss and reduced or absent nerve stretch responses. In spinal nerve roots, depolarisation is a disease, even though the cause is yet unclear. Early detection and prompt referral are crucial in critical cases since some individuals may experience respiratory problems and cardiovascular instability. A case of a 21-year-old female presenting with Acute Motor Axonal Neuropathy (AMAN), a subtype of Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) with seizures has been presented here. The importance of a correct diagnosis by the chiropractor and the subsequent management is reviewed.
