Recurrent Ophthalmoplegia Presenting Different Clinical Features in a Patient with Anti-GQ1b Antibody Syndrome
Dear Editor, It has been proposed that Miller-Fisher syndrome (MFS), Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), Bickerstaff’s brainstem encephalitis, and acute ophthalmoplegia without ataxia are considered to make up a continuous spectrum of illness: anti-GQ1b antibody syndrome [1-3]. We present a case of recurrent anti-GQ1b antibody syndrome that demonstrates why this syndrome should be regarded as a spec...
متن کاملAnti-GQ1b IgG antibody syndrome: clinical and immunological range
Objectives—To clarify the nosological relation among Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS), Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) with ophthalmoplegia, BickerstaV’s brain stem encephalitis (BBE), and acute ophthalmoparesis without ataxia. Serum samples from patients with each condition often have anti-GQ1b IgG antibody. Methods—Information on antecedent illness, initial symptoms, neurological signs during the i...

متن کاملBickerstaff brainstem encephalitis and Fisher syndrome: anti-GQ1b antibody syndrome.
In the 1950s, Bickerstaff and Fisher independently described cases with a unique presentation of ophthalmoplegia and ataxia. The neurological features were typically preceded by an antecedent infection and the majority of patients made a spontaneous recovery. In the cases with Bickerstaff brainstem encephalitis, there was associated altered consciousness and in some, hyperreflexia, in support o...
متن کاملYet Another Atypical Presentation of Anti-GQ1b Antibody Syndrome
Variants of Guillain-Barre syndrome such as Bickerstaff encephalitis and Miller-Fisher syndrome have been reported. We report a 15-year-old boy who presented, after a prodromal illness, with 3-day progressive limb weakness, diplopia, and acute urinary retention. Clinically, he had horizontal gaze-evoked and upbeat nystagmus, bilateral extensor plantars in addition to quadriparesis and areflexia...
