Resumo: Management of severe autonomic dysfunction in patients with Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) or its variant Miller-Fisher syndrome (MFS) include placement of permanent pacemaker. We report a case of MFS with severe bradycardia and asystole treated initially with an external permanent (temporary-permanent) pacemaker with a transvenous, active fixation right ventricular lead placement as a bridge" to permanent pacing."
