Abstract
Miller Fisher Syndrome which is an uncommon variant of Guillain Barre Syndrome, was originally described in 1956 as a kind of polyneuropath that is characterized by a triad of external opthalmoplegia, ataxia and areflexia. Opthalmoplegia, diplopia, pythosis, mydriasis and facial paralysis can be seen as clinical symptoms. On physical examination, limitation of eye movements, especially the lateral gaze, ataxia, absence of deep tendon reflexes, generalized hypoestesia, dysmetria, dysdiadokinesia and preserved motor stregth can be found. Presence of Anti GQ1b antibodies in the serum and elevated levels of proteins in CSF can be detected in laboratory analysis. Sensorial polyneuropathy can be revealed electrophysiologically. In this study, it was aimed to report the symptomes, signs, evaluation and treatment methods of a 44 years old male patient with Miller Fisher Syndrome.
Özet
Guillain Barre Sendromunun nadir bir varyantı olan Miller Fisher Sendromu, ilk kez 1956 yılında tanımlanmış olan eksternal oftalmopleji, ataksi ve arefleksi triadı ile karakterize bir tür polinöropatidir. Hastalığın kliniğinde oftalmaopleji, diplopi, pitozis, midriyazis, fasial paralizi, fizik muayenesinde göz hareketlerinde özellikle dışa bakmada kısıtlılık, ataksi, derin tendon reflekslerinin alınamaması, kas güçlerinin korunması, yaygın hipoestezi, dismetri, disdiadokinezi ve laboratuarında serumda anti GQ1b antikorunun saptanması, BOS proteininde artma ve elektrofizyolojik çalışmalarda sensoryal polinöropati saptanabilir. Bu çalışmada, 44 yaşındaki bir erkek hasta incelenerek Miller Fisher Sendromunun belirti, bulgu, tanı ve tedavi yöntemlerini ortaya koymak amaçlanmıştır.
