RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: The Miller-Fisher syndrome is considered a variant of acute inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy, generally is a benign disorder. CLINICAL CASE: We describe a patient who has had, acutely, ataxia, areflexia and ophthalmoplegia. It has been electrophysiologically diagnosed as Miller-Fisher syndrome. The symptoms appeared after an infectious disease, namely sinusitis. The evoked potential studies suggested lesions at the brain stem and we found a cavernous angioma at MRI. CONCLUSION: We prepared a review of the literature published so far, showing that there is still much controversy about the physiopathology of this syndrome and the importance of the immunologic diagnoses.
