Miller Fischer syndrome (MFS) is a variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome which is characterized by a triad of ataxia, ophthalmoplegia, and areflexia. It is uncommonly associated with systemic illnesses. We present the case of a young boy who came back after a trip to New Delhi in India, who developed MFS. MRI showed a callosal splenial hyperintensity which is called the boomerang sign. The evaluation revealed typhoid fever. This is probably the first such report of MFS associated with this infection.
米勒-费希尔综合征(MFS)是吉兰-巴雷综合征的一种变体,其特征为共济失调、眼肌麻痹和腱反射消失三联征。它很少与全身性疾病相关。我们报告一例前往印度新德里旅行归来后患上MFS的小男孩病例。磁共振成像(MRI)显示胼胝体压部高信号,即所谓的“回旋镖征”。评估显示为伤寒热。这可能是首例与这种感染相关的MFS报告。
