We describe a 21 year‐old man with an acute development of weakness whose clinical and serial electrophysiological findings were atypical for Guillain–Barré syndrome. Electrophysiological data suggested a diagnosis of “acute motor conduction block neuropathy” (AMCBN). The 6 months of disease duration and the electrophysiological follow‐up, which never showed axonal degeneration until complete clinical recovery, raise the issue of the relationship between AMCBN and acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN).
