A Geriatric Case of Acute Motor and Sensory Axonal Neuropathy (AMSAN) following Viral Encephalitis

Abstract

Acute Motor and Sensory Axonal Neuropathy is a rare form of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). The incidence after viral encephalitis is rare in contrast to other variants of GBS. We reported a very rare case of Acute Motor and Sensory Axonal Neuropathy in a 70-year-old man after viral encephalitis, diagnosed by clinical evaluation, Electromyography (EMG) and Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS).
