ABSTRACT

Introduction: Miller-Fisher syndrome is a variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome, distinguished by the clinical triad of ataxia, ophthalmoplegia, and areflexia. It can manifest several years after an initial episode of Guillain-Barré. Case report: a 54-year-old male with a history of Guillain-Barré syndrome at age 17 presented with ataxia, distal weakness, and ophthalmoplegia. Conclusion: Miller-Fisher syndrome should be included in the differential diagnosis of neurological emergencies to enable early diagnosis and optimize clinical outcomes.
