Abstract

Miller-Fisher syndrome and Bickerstaff brainstem encephalitis are two conditions that have probably a common autoimmune etiology. Anti-ganglioside antibodies are present in most of the patients with these clinical conditions. The symptoms of these disorders variably involve peripheral or central nervous systems. There is an unclassified group of patients who have symptoms of both Miller-Fisher syndrome and Bickerstaff bra - instem encephalitis and a new eponymic terminology “Fisher-Bickerstaff syndrome” is suggested for these patients. Mycoplasma pneumoniae as a cause of Fisher-Bickerstaff syndrome has not been reported before. Clinical and radiologic features of a nine- year-old boy with “Fisher-Bickerstaff syndrome” associated with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection are presented. A nine-year-old boy was presented with ptosis, diplopia, drowsiness, areflexia. He had a history of recent upper respiratory tract infection and laboratory evidence of Mycoplasma pneumonia infection. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed hyperintense lesions in the brainstem and electromyography revealed absent H reflex and reduced F wave responses in median nerves. Anti- ganglioside antibodies were not found. The patient dramatically responded to intravenous immunoglobulin treatment. Mycoplasma pneumoniae may cause Fisher- Bickerstaff syndrome without a rise in anti-ganglioside antibodies. Intravenous immunoglubulin treatment seems a good therapeutic option for these cases.

Özet

Miller-Fisher sendromu ve Bickerstaff beyin sapı ensefaliti ortak otoimmün etiyolojisi olduğu düşünülen iki durumdur. Anti-gangliosid antikorları olguların çoğunda her iki durumda da pozitif saptanır. Semptomlar periferik ve santral sinir sistemi ile ilişkili olabilir. Hem Miller Fisher Sendromuna hem de Bickerstaff beyin sapı ensefalitine ait semptomların birlikte görüldüğü bir grup hasta için ise “Fisher-Bickerstaff sendromu” tanımı kullanılmaktadır. Mycoplasma pneumoniae daha önce Fisher-Bickerstaff sendromu etkeni olarak tanımlanmamıştır. Burada Mycoplasma pneumoniae infeksiyonu ile ilişkili Fisher-Birkerstaff sendromu olan dokuz yaşındaki erkek olgunun klinik ve radyolojik özellikleri sunulmuştur. Dokuz yaşında erkek olgu pitosis, diplopi, uykuya meyil ve arefleksi ile başvurdu. Geçirilmiş bir üst solunum yolu infeksiyonu öyküsü vardı ve laboratuvarında Mycoplasma pneumoniae infeksiyonu kanıtlandı. Beyin manyetik rezonans görüntülemede beyin sapında hiperintens lezyonlar saptandı. Elektromyografide H refleksi alınamadı ve median sinirde F dalgası yanıtları azalmıştı. Olgu intravenöz immunoglobulin tedavisine dramatik yanıt verdi. Mycoplasma pneumoniae infeksiyonu ile ilişkili olarak anti-gangliosid antikorları pozitif olmadan Fisher-Bickerstaff sendromu görülebilir. Bu olgularda intravenöz verilmesi iyi bir tedavi seçeneği olabilir.
