Abstract
To analyze the clinical features and prognosis of Miller-Fisher Syndrome Manifesting
(MFS) with isolated ophthalmoplegia. Methods: We report two cases of MFS presenting with bilateral isolated
ophthalmoplegia as the primary clinical manifestation followed by a systematic review of relevant literature.
Results: Case 1 involved a 54-year-old female presenting with diplopia and bilateral blepharospasm following
infection. Case 2 described a 67-year-old male who developed diplopia without clear triggers, accompanied by
unilateral ptosis, dilated pupils with sluggish light reflex, and ocular motility disorders. Both patients tested
positive for serum anti-GQ1b IgG antibodies and anti-GT1a IgG antibodies; Intravenous immunoglobulin
therapy was administered to both patients, leading to favorable outcomes. By integrating our two new cases with
previously reported instances, we identified a total of seven patients manifesting isolated ocular symptoms: five
were anti-GQ1b IgG positive, six exhibited external ophthalmoplegia, five had internal ophthalmoplegia, five
reported prodromal infections, and all achieved good recovery. Conclusion: Patients with MFS presenting
solely with ocular symptoms are exceedingly rare. These cases significantly enhance our understanding of this
distinctive clinical entity.
