Presenting the gained knowledge

Through presenting the case of Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS), I reviewed on the subject again. MFS is more common in Taiwan than in north America. MFS is a rare varriant of Guillain–Barré syndrome, characterized by ophthalmoplegia, ataxia, and areflexia. Over 95% of MFS have anti-GQ1b IgG antibodies. The diagnosis of MFS is based on clinical features, CSF studies, and nerve conduction studies. The prognosis of MFS is good and most patient with MFS recover well.
