A syndrome comprising ophthalmoplegia, ataxia and areflexia was described by Miller Fisher in 1956. While some consider it to be a benign variety of acute idiopathic (Guillain-Barré) polyneuropathy, there are reports of the need for ventilatory support and of the benefits of plasmapheresis. Two further cases are described. The first patient was seen in 1972 and was well 10 years later. The second patient gave cause for concern and might have benefitted from plasmapheresis, but nevertheless he recovered spontaneously. Miller Fisher believed that the pathological process was located in the peripheral nerve, but others have produced evidence that the cranial nerve nuclei and central connections within the brainstem are involved.
1956年，米勒·费希尔描述了一种包括眼肌麻痹、共济失调和反射消失的综合征。虽然有些人认为它是急性特发性（格林-巴利）多神经病的一种良性变体，但有报告称需要通气支持以及血浆置换的益处。本文描述了另外两例病例。第一例患者于1972年就诊，10年后情况良好。第二例患者令人担忧，可能会从血浆置换中获益，但他最终还是自发康复了。米勒·费希尔认为病理过程位于周围神经，但其他人已提供证据表明脑干内的颅神经核和中枢连接也受到了影响。
