Abstract

Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS) is a variant of Guillian-Barre syndrome (GBS) characterized by the triad of ophthalmoplegia, ataxia, and areflexia. Although recurrent GBS is a well known entity, the recurrence of MFS is extremely rare. Here we report an unusual case of recurrent MFS. Initially, the patient had presented with ophthalmoplegia, ataxia, areflexia, and tingling sensation of all extremities. After resolution of the first episode, the patient presented with atypical MFS characterized by ataxia, areflexia, and tingling sensation without ophthalmoplegia.
