Acute Motor Axonal Neuropathy in HIV Infection [PDF]

Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2013
To the Editor: Acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN)—a variant of Guillian Barre Syndrome (GBS) without sensory involvement has been rarely reported in HIV-infected adults and perhaps never in HIV-infected children. An 11-y-old girl presented with sudden weakness of lower limbs that gradually progressed over three days to involve upper limbs.

Acute Motor Axonal Neuropathy

2017
Acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN) is a pure motor axonal subtype of Guillain–Barre syndrome (GBS). In Asia and Central and South America, it is a major subtype of GBS. AMAN progresses more rapidly and has an earlier peak than demyelinating GBS; tendon reflexes are relatively preserved or even exaggerated, and autonomic dysfunction is rare. Molecular

Acute Axonal Motor Neuropathy With Completely Reversible Conduction Failure—Is It Really Axonal?

Journal of Clinical Neuromuscular Disease, 2021
Abstract We present the case of a 24-year-old man with a 3-day history of limb weakness and flaccid tetraparesis, hyporreflexia, and gait difficulties (Hughes grade 3) in the examination. Electromyography at presentation revealed severe amplitude reduction in distal compound muscle action potentials of several nerves without features of ...

Understanding hyper-reflexia in acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN)

Neurophysiologie Clinique, 2020
Hyper-reflexia is occasionally seen in acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN), but its pathophysiology is unclear. We report a patient with AMAN following Campylobacter jejuni enteritis, who showed generalized hyper-reflexia, bilateral Hoffmann sign and right Babinski sign.

Mechanisms of early and late recovery in acute motor axonal neuropathy

Muscle and Nerve, 2001
Motor unit number estimate (MUNE) of the abductor pollicis brevis (APB) was sequentially performed in seven patients with acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN). The MUNE markedly decreased (mean, 11) at the peak of the illness. Clinical recovery of APB strength began during week 4, with an increase in amplitude of distal compound muscle action ...

Serologic Marker of Acute Motor Axonal Neuropathy in Childhood

Pediatric Neurology, 2008
Guillain-Barré syndrome is divided into two subtypes: acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, and acute motor axonal neuropathy. Autoantibodies to gangliosides GM1, GM1b, GD1a, or GalNAc-GD1a were proposed as serologic markers of acute motor axonal neuropathy in adults.

Acute motor axonal neuropathy in association with Sjögren syndrome

Muscle & Nerve, 2010
AbstractSjögren syndrome (SS) has been known to manifest with neurological complications, most frequently of the peripheral nervous system, and often in advance of xerostomia and xerophthalmia. There has been one case report of a patient with SS presenting with acute motor neuropathy similar to Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS).

Acute Motor and Sensory Axonal Neuropathy in LEOPARD Syndrome

Pediatric Neurology, 2010
A case of acute predominantly axonal motor and sensory neuropathy (AMSAN) is reported in a 16-year-old boy with LEOPARD syndrome (the acronym represents lentigines, ECG conduction abnormalities, ocular hypertelorism, pulmonic stenosis, abnormal genitalia, retardation of growth, and sensorineural deafness).

Claw Hand in Acute Motor Axonal Neuropathy Variant

Journal of The Association of Physicians of India
Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an acute autoimmune polyradiculoneuropathy with various subtypes, including the acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN) variant. Distal muscle weakness is typically rare in AMAN. Myositis, an inflammatory muscle condition, is infrequently documented in GBS.

Immunoglobulin improves a model of acute motor axonal neuropathy by preventing axonal degeneration

Neurology, 2004
The action mechanism of IV immunoglobulin (IVIg) for Guillain-Barré syndrome has yet to be clarified.To evaluate clinical, histologic, and immunologic effects in a disease model of acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN) treated by IVIg.Rabbits were sensitized with gangliosides including GM1 and divided randomly into two groups at disease onset. One group
