Résumé

Miller Fisher syndrome is a rare and atypical variation of Guillain-Barré syndrome, which includes the clinical triad of areflexia, ataxia, and ophthalmoplegia. Miller Fisher syndrome is commonly associated with the involvement of the lower cranial and facial nerves. Miller Fisher syndrome is one of the types of Guillain-Barré syndrome. Guillain-Barré syndrome has been defined to be the foremost incapacitating form of neurological disease following the disease polio. Guillain-Barré syndrome is a broad category that encompasses several types of acute immune-mediated polyneuropathies, the most common of which is acute inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy. Here, we describe a case report of a 51-year-old patient who displayed the characteristic symptoms of Miller Fisher syndrome. We also describe the patient's clinical course, diagnostic method, and therapy. This case demonstrates the value of early detection, quick action in treating Miller Fisher syndrome, and the possibility of full recovery with adequate therapy. Techniques utilized in physical therapy emphasize performing everyday tasks along with strengthening muscles.
