Abstract
Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS) and myasthenia gravis can present with similar symptoms. However, some key differences can help differentiate between these two disorders. Early identification is extremely important for MFS so treatment can be initiated in a timely manner. Here, we present the case of a 33-year-old female who was initially diagnosed with myasthenia gravis and was later found to have MFS. The goal of this case report is to provide information to aid in the early diagnosis and identification of MFS.
