Abstract:
Miller Fisher syndrome is characterized by ophthalmoplegia, ataxia and areflexia and usually develops after respiratory tract viral infection. Other various events that precede neurologic symptoms are GI tract infection, vaccination, digitalis intoxication, insect bite, and delivery. The clinical course is usually benign with complete recovery. Miller Fisher syndrome is rare and occurred after insect bite is even more rare. The authors experienced a case of Miller Fisher syndrome in 7-year-old female who had the sudden onset of ophthalmoplegia, ataxia and areflexia. These symptomes developed after insect bite.
