Miller Fisher syndrome associated with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection: report of a case.
We report a 38-year-old male patient who developed a Miller Fisher syndrome following a respiratory tract disorder associated with a serologically proven Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. Although several neurologic manifestations have been reported after Mycoplasma pneumonia infection, Miller Fisher syndrome has not been reported previously. No evidence of CNS involvement could be demonstrated on repeated MRI of the brain.
