Síndrome de Miller Fisher: un caso desafiante para el diagnóstico diferencial

Abstract

Introduction

Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS) is primarily characterized by the triad of ataxia, ophthalmoplegia, and hyporeflexia.

Clinical case

We present the case of a patient who experienced these symptoms in an atypical and progressive manner. Imaging and paraclinical investigations were conducted to rule out differential diagnoses with higher epidemiological probabilities and establish the diagnosis of MFS. The treatment consisted of plasma exchange, resulting in clinical improvement.

Conclusions

The objective of this report is to share our experience in the diagnostic approach to MFS, which is essential for initiating optimal early treatment and improving the prognosis of patients.
