Abstract: A RARE CASE OF ACUTE MOTOR AXONAL NEUROPATHY IN A ONE-YEAR-OLD MALE CHILD:Acute Motor Axonal Neuropathy (AMAN), a major subtype of Guillain Barre’s Syndrome (GBS), is a rare non-inflammatory disease where the axons of motor neurons are selectively targeted by the immune system. This report describes the case of a one-year-old male suffering from this rare condition. The patient presented with complaints of bilateral lower and upper limb weakness, accompanied by fever. Clinical and electromyographic investigations confirmed the diagnosis as AMAN. Treatment included intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg), antibiotics, multivitamins, zinc, and physiotherapy, which led to significant improvement in the patient’s condition. Early diagnosis, along with prompt initiation of IVIg and physiotherapy, may greatly enhance recovery from GBS-AMAN in pediatric patients.
