“…While GBS affects 1 person in 100 000, MFS is even more uncommon, making up 1 in 100 000 000. MFS may progress into GBS (1,2). Unlike GBS, in MFS the neurological deficit starts from the upper body parts, continuing in a downward direction.…”

Miller Fisher syndrome is a rare neurological disease that is considered to be a variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome. It is characterized by abnormal muscle coordination (ataxia), paralysis of the eye muscles (ophthalmoplegia), and absence of the tendon reflexes (areflexia). Additional symptoms include generalized muscle weakness and respiratory failure. Symptoms are usually preceded by a viral illness. This paper describes a clinical case of the syndrome in a patient who presented primarily with blurred and double vision, and gait disturbance.
