A Case Report on Miller Fisher Variant of Guillain Barre Syndrome in a Tertiary Care Hospital

Abstract

Aneena Annu Philip* and Praveen Kumar

Miller fisher syndrome is considered to be an uncommon cranial nerve variant of Guillain Barre Syndrome. It is characterized by the clinical triad of opthalmoplegia, ataxia and are flexia that can result from nerve damage caused by an aberrant autoimmune response to a bacterial or viral infection. The following report describes the case of a 7 year old female patient who presented with complaints of blurring vision and right eye drooping. Later she developed weakness of all limbs with respiratory failure that required ventilatory support and was also treated with immunoglobins, corticosteroids, antibiotics and other supportive medications. The patient gradually improved and was discharged in the recovery phase.
