Abstract

Guillain-Barr syndrome is rarely complicated by hypertension, which has been ascribed to sympathetic nervous system hyperactivity. We report a 11 years old female with Guillain-Barr syndrome complicated by persistent hypertension associated with elevated renin-angiotensin. So we report this case with brief review of related literatures.
