description In recent years, there has been an increase in complications related to heat stroke (HS), especially those affecting the neurological system. The co-occurrence of HS and Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS) is exceptionally rare, with fewer than 15 documented cases.

This study aimed to increase awareness and aid in clinical decision-making regarding the management of classic HS.
