Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) in pregnancy is a rare neurological disorder which confronts the obstetrician with a difficult decision regarding the management of pregnancy and delivery. Two case reports illustrate the problems of obstetrical and neurological patient management. We thereby discuss indications for intervention based on the reciprocal influences of GBS and pregnancy. In acute GBS intervention by induction of labor or caesarian section seems to provoke deterioration of the patient's condition and delayal of recovery.
