title: Corticobulbar dysfunction in the Miller Fisher syndrome.
abstract: The Miller Fisher syndrome is an immunologically mediated condition with minimal motor manifestations. We describe a case showing mild reversible dysarthria and weak lingual movements with complete recovery over 2 months. Transcranial magnetic stimulation studies give an evidence of a reversible corticobulbar conduction abnormality which resolved with clinical improvement.
