Abstract

Guillain Barre syndrome presents as acute onset of gradually progressive ascending flaccid paralysis with hyporeflexia or areflexia. The variants are acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, acute motor axonal neuropathy, acute motor sensory axonal neuropathy, and Miller Fisher syndrome. Miller Fisher syndrome includes symptoms that form a classical triad of ophthalmoplegia, ataxia, and hyporeflexia or areflexia. This case presents a case of Miller Fisher syndrome with atypical features wherein the patient had normal reflexes and his reflexes remained normal in follow-up.
