Claw Hand in Acute Motor Axonal Neuropathy Variant
This case highlights a rare presentation of the AMAN variant of GBS with unilateral claw hand and myositis. The findings suggest that elevated CPK levels in GBS may not directly indicate myositis but could be secondary to the syndrome. Prompt diagnosis and treatment of the patient for recovery have been emphasized. This report underlines the need to consider GBS in patients presenting with atypical motor impairments and elevated CPK levels.
