Abstract
A 14-year-old boy developed a distinct asymmetrical muscle atrophy and weakness with no sensory disturbance in the lower extremities after enteritis. He had an elevated titre of the IgG antibody against GalNAc-GD1a, but none of the others. A nerve conduction study revealed motor axonopathy. Intravenous immunoglobulin therapy improved the status gradually, with low titres of IgG anti-GalNAc-GD1a.Entities:
