Atypical Acute Motor Axonal Neuropathy with Cerebrospinal Pleocytosis Mimicking Myelitis

Concomitant Transverse Myelitis and Acute Axonal Sensory-Motor Neuropathy in an Elderly Patient

Diagnosing concomitant transverse myelitis (TM) and Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) can be challenging. We report a case of an elderly patient presenting with acute sensory and motor disturbances in the four limbs, associated with urinary retention, ophthalmoparesis, facial weakness, and dysarthria. Electrodiagnostic studies were consistent with acute motor sensory axonal neuropathy (AMSAN), and ...

Conduction 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 ...

Hyperreflexia in acute motor axonal neuropathy

Acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN) is a type of GBS accompanied by peripheral axonal involvement where acute motor paralysis, loss of reflex or hyporeflexia, insignificant sensory loss, and albumino-cytologic disproportion in cerebrospinal f luid are seen with no demyelinating findings in electromyography (EMG).[1] Commonly known as acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP), GBS’...
