Abstract
Miller Fisher syndrome is characterized by ophthalmoplegia, ataxia and areflexia and develops after respiratory tract viral infection. Other events are GI tract infection, vaccination, digitalis intoxication, insect bite and delivery. Diagnosis of Miller Fisher syndrome can be made with clinical history taking, cardinal symptoms and normal findings of CT or MRI. We have experienced a case of Miller Fisher syndrome and treated with herbal medicine, eletro-acupuncture at paralytic external ophthalmic muscles. We enforced electro-acupuncture for 10 minutes daily. We used the PG-306 electro-acupuncture products(Suzuki Iryoki Co. Japan) and applied the low consequence wave of 1-8Hz. In 3 months, all the main symptoms disappered and the patient improved in health. Based on this experience, herbal medicine and eletro-acupuncture can be applied to the Miller Fisher syndrome.
