| dc.description.abstract | Miller Fisher syndrome is characterized by the acute onset of ophthalmoplegia, ataxia, and areflexia. Anti-GQ1b antibodies are useful markers for the differential diagnosis of Miller Fisher syndrome. We describe the case of a seven-year-old male who presented with a four-day history of diplopia and ophthalmoplegia following a febrile flu-like illness with sore throat. On examination he was found to have ataxia, areflexia and ophthalmoplegia, and a diagnosis of Miller Fisher syndrome was made after the exclusion of other conditions and concomitant with electrophysiological findings on electromyography. Although this disorder has a rare incidence, it should still be considered in the differential diagnosis in our country. | |
