Abstract | We report a case of Miller Fisher syndrome in an 80-year-old woman who presented with a 3-day history of worsening dizziness associated with vertigo. The patient had an episode of upper respiratory tract infection one week earlier. She later developed diplopia in bilateral lateral gaze and drooping of eyelids. She was treated conservatively without the use of intravenous immunoglobulin or plasmapharesis. Her symptoms improved gradually after 2 weeks of hospitalisation. At the 10-week follow-up, she had regained all the reflexes and full ocular movements with no residual ptosis. |
