  • Title: Time course of axonal regeneration in acute motor axonal neuropathy.
    Author: Tamura N, Kuwabara S, Misawa S, Kanai K, Nakata M, Sawai S, Mori M, Hattori T.
    Journal: Muscle Nerve; 2007 Jun; 35(6):793-5. PubMed ID: 17221880.
    Abstract:
    Patients with acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN) generally recover well. We reviewed clinical and electrophysiologic recovery in 13 patients for up to 5 years. Twelve patients showed rapid recovery over 12 months, whereas in the remaining one the recovery was slow and incomplete at 5 years. In AMAN, axonal degeneration appears to develop predominantly in the motor nerve terminals, and only occasionally more proximally in the nerve roots. Nerve terminal degeneration-regeneration presumably provides a mechanism for good recovery.
