| Abstrakt: | Miller Fischer (MF) syndrome is a rare variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome which occurs only in 5% of cases among adults while the pediatric cases described in the literature are even more rare. We here report the case of a 12-year old boy who was diagnosed with Miller Fischer syndrome based on clinical presentation characterized by obvious ocular involvement and anti-ganglioside antibody-positivity. The patient was admitted to our hospital with respiratory distress requiring orotracheal intubation and intravenous immunoglobulins, with good clinical evolution. |
