Severe Pure Acute Motor Axonal Neuropathy
Acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN) is a subtype of Guillain–Barré syndrome. Characteristic electrophysiological features of AMAN are reduced amplitude or absence of muscle action potentials. Our patient described progressive weakness in his leg and was not able to independently walk; he had a feeling weakness in his arms within 24 h after the onset of symptoms. He was diagnosed with AMAN acco...
متن کاملAutonomic neuropathy in acute intermittent porphyria.
Autonomic function was assessed in subjects with acute intermittent porphyria and age- and sex-matched controls using five different bedside tests of cardiovascular reflexes. During the acute attack both parasympathetic and sympathetic tests were impaired, but subsequently improved during remission. Early parasympathetic dysfunction was also detected during remission and in latent asymptomatic ...

متن کاملAntiretroviral 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...
متن کاملConduction block in acute motor axonal neuropathy.
Guillain-Barré syndrome is divided into two major subtypes, acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy and acute motor axonal neuropathy. The characteristic electrophysiological features of acute motor axonal neuropathy are reduced amplitude or absence of distal compound muscle action potentials indicating axonal degeneration. In contrast, autopsy study results show early nodal changes in ...
