Ophthalmoplegia, ataxia, and areflexia were first described in 1956 by Miller Fisher and later were referred to as symptoms of Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS). This syndrome shares certain features with the Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), including areflexia, cerebrospinal fluid findings and often a postinfectious presentation. It was believed to be a variant of GBS, but Miller Fisher syndrome has several key clinical features which differ from GBS. The anatomic location and pathogenesis of MFS continue to be a matter of debate. Our report focuses on a 6-year-old female patient who developed MFS following a respiratory tract infection with a serologically proven Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. Although several neurological complications after Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection have been reported, subsequent MFS development has rarely been reported previously.
