Description
Hidig and coauthors report a rare first sign of a nerve illness. Guillain-Barre illness causes fast limb weakness and loss of reflexes. Up to two in three patients also have gut and heart control loss. In this case, a blocked gut was the first sign.
A 55-year-old man came in with a gut that had stopped moving. Gut drugs and vein feeding gave no real relief. Weakness then rose from his legs to all four limbs. Breath muscles failed, and a machine had to breathe for him. The case warns teams to weigh nerve causes in gut block.
