Atypical Electrophysiological Findings in a Patient with Acute Motor and Sensory Axonal Neuropathy

Atypical Electrophysiological Findings in a Patient with Acute Motor and Sensory Axonal Neuropathy

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an immune-mediated polyradiculoneuropathy with acute onset and rapid clinical worsening; early diagnosis and immunomodulating therapy can ameliorate the course of disease. During the first days, however, nerve conduction studies (NCSs) are not always conclusive. Here, we describe a 73-year-old man presenting with progressive muscular weakness of the lower limbs,...

Acute Motor Axonal Neuropathy in a Child With Atypical Presentation

Acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN) is a variant of Guillain-Barre syndrome. It has been reported to have no sensory symptoms and is diagnosed by typical electrophysiological findings of low-amplitude or unobtainable compound muscle action potentials with normal sensory nerve action potentials. However, the authors experienced atypical case of general electrophysiological findings of AMAN with...

Atypical Acute Motor Axonal Neuropathy with Cerebrospinal Pleocytosis Mimicking Myelitis

Antiretroviral Therapy-Associated Acute Motor and Sensory Axonal Neuropathy

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) has been reported in HIV-infected patients in association with the immune reconstitution syndrome whose symptoms can be mimicked by highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART)-mediated mitochondrial toxicity. We report a case of a 17-year-old, HIV-infected patient on HAART with a normal CD4 count and undetectable viral load, presenting with acute lower extremity w...
