Abstract
-
PURPOSE: To report one case of atypical Miller Fisher syndrome with spontaneous recovery.
METHODS
A 44-year-old woman was visited our clinic complaining of diplopia for 2 days. She has irregular medication history for thyroid dysfunction, and there was no antecedent respiratory or gastrointestinal infection. The best corrected visual acuity of both eyes was 20/20. She showed bilateral proptosis and limitation of abduction and supraduction, mild blepharoptosis of left eye and esotropia of 30 prism diopter (PD).
RESULTS
Thyroid fuction test, orbital CT and electromyography were normal. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis revealed albuminocytologic dissociation. Steroid pulse therapy was started promptly, but there was no improvement. Extraocular movement and diplopia gradually improved after 4 weeks of onset. and spontaneously recovered completely after 2 months.
CONCLUSIONS
We reported a case of atypical Miller Fisher syndrome that completely and spontaneously recovered within 2 months., and represented normal findings by every examination such as orbital CT, thyroid function test, electromyography and CSF analysis.
