Acute motor sensory axonal neuropathy – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/98367105

Acute motor-sensory axonal neuropathy (AMSAN) is a motor-sensory, axonal form of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) with a clinical picture (muscle weakness and sensory deficits) similar to that of the more frequent demyelinating form of GBS (acute inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy; AIDP) but with a more severe disease course.
