ABSTRACT

A síndrome de Miller Fisher é uma desmielinização dos nervos cranianos e periféricos, gerando graves consequências para o paciente, como, por exemplo, redução ou ausência dos reflexos, paralisia do III, IV e VI nervos cranianos e ataxia. Este relato descreveu o caso de uma mulher de 51 anos, natural e procedente de Penápolis (SP), admitida em um hospital de Araçatuba (SP) com quadro de arreflexia, ataxia e oftalmoplegia. No contexto clínico, foi suspeitada a hipótese de síndrome de Miller Fisher e, assim, começou o processo de investigação, com base nos critérios diagnósticos. O caso foi diagnosticado como síndrome de Miller Fisher, e o tratamento teve início.
