Acute motor axonal neuropathy: features of diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation

Acute axonal motor neuropathy (AMAN) is an axonal variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome, characterized by acute damage of motor fibers of peripheral nerves. In the acute period, therapy involves the use of specific and nonspecific methods. Specific methods include operations of high-volume program plasmapheresis and courses of high-dose intravenous immunotherapy with immunoglobulin class G preparations. Nonspecific methods consist of symptomatic therapy. It is very important to start rehabilitation treatment with a multidisciplinary team of specialists as early as possible in the period of reconvalescence.
