Aim: literature review of MFS and case report.
Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS) is an acute inflammatory polyradiculoneuropathy that is generally considered a variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) and is characterized by the clinical triad of ataxia, areflexia, and ophthalmoplegia. Causes Both GBS and MFS are triggered by a viral infection, most commonly the flu or a stomach bug. Symptoms generally start appearing from one to four weeks after infection with the virus. No one is entirely sure why GBS and MFS develop in response to these common illnesses. Several reports of familial Guillain-Barré syndrome have been reported, indicating a possible underlying genetic and/or environmental predisposition to the development of Guillain-Barré syndrome. Recently a few reports of MFS have been reported, with possible genetic predisposition. We report a case of 26 years old man with Cardio-pulmonary complication caused by autonomic nervous system impairment with the Miller Fisher syndrome with thrombocytopenia, renal failure and right atrium mass.
Conclusion: This report has shown that rare life threatening cardiovascular complications may occur not only in GBS, but also in MFS.
