Extractions: Miller Fisher syndrome is a rare, acquired nerve disease that is considered to be a variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome. It is characterized by abnormal muscle coordination, paralysis of the eye muscles, and absence of the tendon reflexes. Like Guillain-Barré syndrome, symptoms may be preceded by a viral illness. Additional symptoms include generalized muscle weakness and respiratory failure. The majority of individuals with Miller Fisher syndrome have a unique antibody that characterizes the disorder. Is there any treatment?

Extractions: Miller Fisher Syndrome Botulism and Miller Fisher syndrome can present in a similar fashion with cranial nerve involvement and pupillary changes. If food-borne, botulism typically occurs as a descending paralysis. The patient is often sick prior to the onset of symptoms and tends to eat canned goods. Having a low vital capacity, pupillary changes, and a normal spinal fluid following symptoms that occurred two to three days before, botulism was a strong consideration. EMG can be useful for the differential and usually shows reduced CMAP amplitudes, normal nerve conductions, and post-tetanic facilitation. Stool or serum will be positive for botulinum toxin in adults; adults tend to ingest the preformed toxin while infants ingest the spores of Clostridium botulinum Imaging studies and CSF should be normal. Adult botulinum poisoning is often fatal if untreated. Other considerations: Myasthenia gravis may present with rapid-onset of bulbar and respiratory weakness but without autonomic dysfunction. Patients often complain of diplopia, but rarely have complete ophthalmoplegia. There is usually limb weakness as well. Tensilon and EMG testing were not compatible with this diagnosis.

HealthInfoSite Miller Fisher Syndrome (MFS) Miller Fisher Syndrome is a variant form of Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS). GBS is more common than MFS but is still relatively unusual but becoming more common than it used to be. They are both diseases in which the bodies central nervous system is attacked by the bodies own auto-immune system, which suddenly decides that the myelin sheath that acts both as a nerve insulator and fast impulse carrier is a foreign body and attacks it, causing inflammation and destruction. The difference between MFS and GBS is that different nerve groups are affected such that paralysis in GBS tends to start in the legs and move up, where in MFS it starts in the head, affecting eye muscles, balance and slowly descends to the neck arms etc. MFS does not generally have the life threatening aspects of GBS but can be very difficult to live through with double vision, nausea, weakness, difficulty walking, light sensitivity and pain which can go on for months. The cause is still unknown but about two-thirds of cases occur after a viral infection, either one you know about such as a sore throat, diarrhea, flu or cold, or one that is subsequently confirmed by blood tests. The viral infection may be one of the herpes viruses, such as the Epstein-Barr virus. But GBS may also follow a bacterial infection. Guillain-Barré is also sometimes associated with medical procedures. Five percent to 10 percent of cases occur after an operation. Age is not a factor, people of any age can get it and it can reoccur in a small percentage of cases.

Sobczak, M.D., Safwan Jaradeh, M.D. Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, WI Discussion: Miller Fisher syndrome is a variant of Guillain-Barre Syndrome involving the triad: ataxia, ophthalmoplegia, and areflexia. The pathophysiology of the syndrome can be explained through GQ1b ganglioside autoantibodies, which are seen in 96 percent of cases of Miller Fisher Syndrome. These autoantibodies recognize epitopes expressed specifically in the nodal regions of oculomotor nerves and cerebellar neurons. Organisms such as Mycoplasma Pneumoniae and Campylobacter jejuni contain cell walls that are capable of inducing the production of these antoantibodies. Treatment is thus involved in immune modulation, through the use of IVIg, plasma exchange, and steroids. Our patient required intubation and wan treated with all three modalities over a three-month hospitalization. He eventually recovered to be discharged to long term rehabilitation.

Only submit your e-mail address if this is acceptable to you. Registered Charity 327314 Professor Hugh Willison, Consultant Neurologist, Southern General Hospital, Glasgow GBS is an illness usually triggered by an infection which activates immune cells - cells which make antibodies, known as 'B' cells and activated 'T' cells. These activated immune cells find their way through the nerve barrier, which gets disturbed in the process, and into the nerve network itself, causing damage. Once the nerves have been disturbed and injured, the clinical syndrome develops. This whole process from beginning to end is being studied. By finding out how this happens and by studying the pathway of events, it will be eventually possible to block the process and prevent nerve injury.

Extractions: Miller Fisher Syndrome Medline NLM definition: A variant of the GUILLAIN-BARRE SYNDROME characterized by the acute onset of oculomotor dysfunction, ataxia, and loss of deep tendon reflexes with relative sparing of strength in the extremities and trunk. The ataxia is produced by peripheral sensory nerve dysfunction and not by cerebellar injury. Facial weakness and sensory loss may also occur. The process is mediated by autoantibodies directed against a component of myelin found in peripheral nerves.
