Key Clinical Message We report a case of 37‐year‐old man admitted with acute motor and sensory axonal neuropathy (AMSAN) which was treated with pulse‐steroid therapy after the plasmapheresis and intravascular immunoglobulin. The improvement of the symptoms of AMSAN after pulse‐steroid therapy may represent a therapeutic alternative for this variant of Guillain‐Barré syndrome.
