Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 6
Abstract
One of the subtypes of Guillain – Barre syndrome is Acute motor and sensory axonal neuropathy (AMSAN) which is characterized by acute onset of distal weakness, loss of deep tendon reflexes, and sensory symptoms. A 65-yr-old male came to our hospital due to respiration difficulties and progressive weakness since 10 days. Nerve conduction studies showed reduced amplitudes of compound muscle action potentials in bilateral peroneal, and posterior tibial nerves with decreased sensory nerve conduction velocity, amplitude and delayed latency in left ulnar nerve. Absent sensory conduction in bilateral median, right ulnar in upper limb and bilateral superficial peroneal and sural nerves in loer limbs. Based on clinical features, laboratory findings, and electrophysiologic investigation, the patient was diagnosed as AMSAN. The patient was treated with symptomatic treatment and physiotherapy.
