Abstract

Acute autonomic and sensory neuropathy (AASN) is very rare immune mediated neuropathy characterized by prominent dysautonomia and sensory involvement without motor weakness. Most of AASN patients have a rapid onset reaching its worst within four weeks like Guillain-Barré syndrome. The treatment response is variable. Recently, we experienced a patient diagnosed as AASN with progressive autonomic and sensory symptoms more than 1 year, and showed good response in immunotherapy.
