Summaries for Miller Fisher Syndrome

About this section
NIH Rare Diseases : 52 Miller Fisher syndrome is a rare acquired nerve disease considered to be a variant of Guillain-Barre syndrome . The main features are lack of muscle coordination (ataxia ), eye muscle weakness resulting in the inability to move the eyes in several directions (ophthalmoplegia), and the absence of tendon reflexes . Symptoms often start several days after a viral illness. Other symptoms include generalized muscle weakness and respiratory failure. The cause is not known, but it is thought to be an autoimmune disease in which there are autoantibodies that attack the nerves. In most people with Miller Fisher syndrome an antibody (anti-GQ1b ) is identified. The presence of these autoantibodies helps confirm the diagnosis of the syndrome. Treatment includes intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), plasmapheresis (a plasma exchange procedure in which the antibodies are removed from the blood) and supportive care. The prognosis is usually good, and in most cases, there is almost complete recovery within 6 months. In rare cases, the syndrome may progress and permanent neurological deficits may be present.

MalaCards based summary : Miller Fisher Syndrome, also known as cranial variant of gbs, is related to guillain-barre syndrome and myasthenia gravis, and has symptoms including ophthalmoplegia and cerebellar ataxia. An important gene associated with Miller Fisher Syndrome is TNF (Tumor Necrosis Factor), and among its related pathways/superpathways are Neuroscience and Spinal Cord Injury. The drugs Sodium citrate and Citric acid have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include eye, heart and brain, and related phenotypes are behavior/neurological and mortality/aging

Disease Ontology : 12 A Guillain-Barre syndrome that manifests as a descending paralysis. It usually affects the eye muscles first and presents with the triad of ophthalmoplegia, ataxia, and areflexia.

NINDS : 53 Miller Fisher syndrome is a rare, acquired nerve disease that is considered to be a variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome. It is characterized by abnormal muscle coordination, paralysis of the eye muscles, and absence of the tendon reflexes. Like Guillain-Barré syndrome, symptoms may be preceded by a viral illness. Additional symptoms include generalized muscle weakness and respiratory failure. The majority of individuals with Miller Fisher syndrome have a unique antibody that characterizes the disorder.
