Abstract

Miller-Fisher syndrome is characterized by gait ataxia, external ophtalmoplegia and areflexia and thought as an uncommon variant of Guillain Barre syndrome. Miller-Fisher syndrome is observed in about 5-8% of all Guillain Barre syndrome cases. Acute onset of external ophthalmoplegia is a cardinal feature of Miller-Fisher syndrome. Miller-Fisher syndrome can be distinguished from Guillain Barre syndrome by a few clinical features. Because of the laboratory findings are not spesific for Miller-Fisher syndrome, the diagnosis is made only with suspicion of the disease. Miller-Fisher syndrome was diagnosed at a five years old girl with gait ataxia, ophthalmoplegia, hyporeflexia, cerebrospinal fluid and electromyographic findings. Intravenous immunoglobulin 1g/kg/dose was used for two days. The aim of the case is presented here to remind this very uncommon antity.

Özet

Miller-Fisher sendromu ataksi, oftalmopleji ve arefleksi ile karakterizedir ve Guillain Barre sendromunun bir varyantı olduğu düşünülmektedir. Miller-Fisher sendromu tüm Guillain Barre sendromlu olguların %5-8'ini oluşturur. Ani başlangıçlı eksternal oftalmopleji Miller-Fisher sendromunun kardinal bulgusudur. Miller-Fisher sendromu Guillain Barre sendromundan yalnızca birkaç klinik özellikle ayırt edilebilmekte, laboratuvar bulguları özgün olmadığı için tanı ancak hastalıktan şüphelenildiği durumda konulabilmektedir. Yürüme ataksisi, oftalmopleji ve derin tendon reflekslerinde azalma saptanan beş yaşındaki kız olguda beyin omurilik sıvısında albuminositolojik disosiyasyon, elektromiyografide alt ekstremite distallerinde mikst tip polinöropati bulgularıyla birlikte Miller-Fisher sendromu tanısı konuldu. İntravenöz immunoglobulin 1 g/kg/doz iki gün kullanıldı. Oldukça nadir görülen bir antite olması nedeniyle hatırlatmak amacıyla sunuldu
