Abstract:
A 13-year-old boy reported acute horizontal binocular diplopia and headache. Ten days before these symptoms he suffered from a gastrointestinal infection. Ophthalmological examination revealed bilateral ophthalmoparesis and diffuse hyporeflexia. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain was normal. Lumbar puncture revealed albumin-cytological dissociation. There were no anti-GQ1b antibodies, but serum anti-GM1 antibodies were detected. He received intravenous immunoglobulins and had fully recovered two weeks later. Miller Fisher syndrome and its atypical variants are uncommon in childhood; nevertheless, they should be considered in the differential diagnosis of bilateral acute ophthalmoparesis.
