Abstract

Miller-Fisher syndrome, which is a rare form of GuillainBarre syndrome, is characterized by external ophtalmoplegia, areflexia and ataxia occurring 2-3 weeks after gastroenteritis or upper respiratory tract infection. Recurrent diseases are rarely encountered, and MillerFisher syndrome is usually self limited and cures within 8-10 weeks. In this report we presented two cases with Miller-Fisher syndrome admitted to our hospital at one week intervals in order to remind this rare disease. In one of the cases the presence of urinary and fecal incontinance which is seen in Guillain-Barré syndrome rarely, reminded us the association of Miller Fisher syndrome and autonomic neuropathy.

Özet

Miller-Fisher sendromu, Guillain-Barré sendromunun nadir görülen bir şekli olup, 2-3 hafta içerisinde geçirilmiş gastroenterit veya üst solunum yolu enfeksiyonunu takiben ortaya çıkan eksternal oftalmopleji, arefleksi ve ataksi ile karakterizedir. Miller-Fisher sendromu genellikle kendi kendini sınırlayarak 8-10 hafta içerisinde iyileşme gösteren bir hastalık olmakla beraber, nadiren tekrarlayıcı Miller-Fisher sendromu olgularından da söz edilmektedir. Bu makalede hastanemize bir hafta arayla başvuran iki Miller-Fisher sendromu olgusu sunularak Guillain-Barré sendromunun nadir görü- len bir formu olan Miller-Fisher sendromunun anımsanması amaçlandı. Olguların birinde Guillain-Barré sendromunda nadiren görülen idrar ve gaita inkontinansının gözlenmiş olması da literatürde daha önce tanımlanmamış olan otonomik sinir tutulumunun Miller-Fisher sendromuna da eşlik edebileceği düşüncesini uyandırmıştır.
