Multifocal acquired motor axonopathy (MAMA) is an immune-mediated chronic polyneuropathy
that exclusively involves motor nerves. Early recognition of treatable disease enables timely
therapeutic intervention and can prevent further clinical deterioration. We report a 36-yearold male who presented with tremor and muscle atrophy of the upper extremities. The patient
showed clinical improvement with long-term intravenous immunoglobulin infusion.
