Abstract

This is a case report of a 48-year-old female with no medical conditions, with a one-day history of diplopia, mild headache, vertigo and generalized paraesthesia. The neurological examination revealed ophthalmoplegia, ataxia and areflexia leading to a diagnosis of Miller Fisher syndrome, a rare variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome. This highlights the importance of considering the rarer variants of Guillain-Barré syndrome in the differential diagnosis of patients who present with this triad.
