Abstract

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 according to the clinical and electrophysiological features. He could independently walk after two years following intensive physical therapy and monitoring. Neurologists and physiatrist should conduct long term monitoring and rehabilitation for patients with AMAN because neurological deficits may persist for a long time.
