About A Case of Acute Motor Axonal Neuropathy (AMAN), Seen in Our Hospital, A Pure Motor Axonal Form of Guillain-Barré Syndrome

Abstract

Acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN), is a pure motor axonal form of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) characterized by the absence of sensory and cranial nerve involvement. Its prevalence in western countries, together with the sensorimotor variant, ranges in 3-5% of GBS cases. Acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN), or motor axonal form of Guillain-Barré syndrome, is a rare entity in the West, but it can be underestimated by confusing it with demyelinating forms of the syndrome if serial neurophysiological studies are not performed.
