We describe a patient who developed bilateral oculomotor nerve palsy, ataxia, facial diplegia and lower limb weakness 2 weeks post-Oxford-AstraZeneca SARS-CoV2 vaccination, consistent with Miller-Fisher syndrome (MFS) and Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) overlap syndrome. Although some features of the patient's presentation were typical of recently reported cases of a rare GBS variant post-Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccination, including severe facial weakness and a lack of respiratory involvement, to our knowledge this is the first reported case of MFS associated with SARS-CoV2 vaccination. While postvaccination GBS remains rare, it appears to have a favourable prognosis, and recognising this entity is therefore important for patient counselling and monitoring for potential complications.
我们描述了一位患者,他在接种牛津-阿斯利康 SARS-CoV2 疫苗后 2 周出现双侧动眼神经麻痹、共济失调、面瘫和下肢无力,符合米勒-费舍尔综合征(MFS)和吉兰-巴雷综合征(GBS)重叠综合征。尽管患者的表现有些特征与最近报道的接种牛津-阿斯利康疫苗后罕见 GBS 变体病例相似,包括严重的面部无力和无呼吸受累,但据我们所知,这是首例与 SARS-CoV2 疫苗接种相关的 MFS 病例。虽然接种疫苗后 GBS 仍然罕见,但它的预后似乎较好,因此,认识到这一实体对于患者咨询和监测潜在并发症非常重要。
