Miller-Fisher syndrome associated with unilateral cerebral white matter lesions.
Autor(es): Xu Yongfeng; Liu Lan
Resumo: Miller-Fisher syndrome (MFS) is characterized by classical triad of ophthalmoplegia, ataxia and areflexia. The involvement of cerebral white matter in MFS is very rare. We report a typical MFS patient whose brain MRI showed unilateral and extensive involvement in cerebral white matter. We also found mild pleocytosis and raised protein concentration in cerebrospinal fluid. Deficits resolved completely after treatment with intravenous immunoglobulins. Subsequent brain MRI shows cavity formation in involved white matter.
