ABSTRACT

Acute inflammatory polyradiculoneuropathy, or Guillain-Barre syndrome, is a progressive autoimmune disease manifested secondary to a viral infectious process in almost 60% to 70% of cases, with spontaneous recovery, that is characterized by muscle weakness, motor and symmetric paralysis, with or without lost of sensitivity that may be accompanied by autonomic disorders. In the acute motor axonal neuropathy variant (AMAN), lesion affects nerve terminals, there is axonal neuropathy mediated by macrophages, blockage of ion channels in the axolema and the lymphocitary infiltration may be limited or null. This paper reports the case of a 40-year-old male patient with this axonal variant of Guillain-Barre syndrome.
