| dc.description.abstract | Patients with Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS) are characterized by acute ophthalmoplegia (AO) and areflexia. MFS is an immune mediated process,triggered by an infection and includes incomplete forms, such as ophthalmoplegia, ataxia and a central nervous system subtype known as Bickerstaffbrainstem encephalitis (BBE). We present two cases admitted to our hospital on the same day. The first case was presented as AO, with elevated levelsof anti GQ1b. The second case was presented as AO, oropharyngeal palsy and sensory motor polyneuropathy with borderline levels of anti GQ1b,diagnosed as BBE. There are atypical forms of MFS with different clinical symptoms and elevated levels of antibodies called “Anti GQ1b Antibodysyndrome”. The cases of the two patients diagnosed as MFS variants’ AO and BBE. | |
