Pediatric Miller Fisher syndrome requiring intubation: a case report.
In 1956, C. Miller Fisher described a clinical syndrome of ophthalmoplegia, ataxia, and areflexia. This syndrome, which now bears his name, shares certain features with the Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) and generally follows a benign, restricted clinical course, especially in the pediatric population. The authors report a pediatric case of Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS) who subsequently required intubation and mechanical ventilation.
