[PMID: 37748887 PMCID: PMC10663017 DOI: 10.1212/wnl.0000000000207814] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2023] [Accepted: 07/24/2023] [Indexed: 09/27/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Anecdotal studies have reported the presence of antiganglioside antibodies in acute unilateral peripheral vestibulopathy (AUPV). This study aimed to determine the prevalence, clinical characteristics, and neurotologic findings of AUPV associated with antiganglioside antibodies. METHODS Serum antigangliosides were measured in consecutive patients with AUPV according to the Bárány Society criteria during the acute and recovery phases in a referral-based university hospital in South Korea from September 2019 to January 2023. Clinical characteristics and neurotologic findings were compared between those with and without antiganglioside antibodies. The results of video-oculography, video head impulse and bithermal caloric tests, and other neurotologic evaluations including ocular and cervical vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials and subjective visual vertical were compared between the 2. MRIs dedicated to the inner ear were also conducted when considered necessary. RESULTS One hundred five patients (mean age ± SD = 60 ± 13 years, 57 male) were included for analyses. During the acute phase, 12 patients (12/105, 11%) were tested positive for serum antiganglioside antibodies, including anti-GQ1b immunoglobulin (Ig) G (n = 5) or IgM (n = 4), anti-GM1 IgM (n = 3), and anti-GD1a IgG (n = 1, including 1 patient with a positive anti-GQ1b antibody). Patients with antiganglioside antibodies showed lesser intensity of spontaneous nystagmus (median [interquartile range] = 1.8 [1.2-2.1] vs 3.4 [1.5-9.5], p = 0.003) and a lesser degree of canal paresis (30 [17-47] vs 58 [34-79], p = 0.028) and gain asymmetry of the vestibulo-ocular reflex for the horizontal semicircular canal during head impulse tests (0.07 [-0.04 to 0.61] vs 0.36 [0.18-0.47], p = 0.032) than those without antibodies. Negative conversion of antibodies and vestibular recovery were observed in most patients (6/8, 75%). Among 30 patients with AUPV with 4-hour delayed 3D fluid-attenuated inversion recovery dedicated to the inner ear, gadolinium enhancement was observed in 18 (18/30, 60%), either in the vestibule (n = 9), semicircular canal (n = 6), or vestibular nerve (n = 5). The positivity rates based on specific antibodies could not be determined due to limited sample sizes. DISCUSSION The association between antiganglioside antibodies and AUPV suggests an immune-mediated mechanism in acute vestibular failure and extends the clinical spectrum of antiganglioside antibody syndrome.

Clinical Features and Differences of Miller Fisher Syndrome in Southern China: Retrospective Analysis of 72 Patients in 13 Provinces of Southern China. J Clin Neurol 2023; 19:589-596. [PMID: 37455512 PMCID: PMC10622728 DOI: 10.3988/jcn.2022.0370] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2022] [Revised: 01/20/2023] [Accepted: 03/20/2023] [Indexed: 07/18/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We aimed to determine the clinical features of Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS) in southern China and compare them with those presenting in other countries. METHODS We collected the medical records of patients diagnosed with MFS during 2013-2016. We analyzed the age, sex, onset season, precursor events, clinical symptoms and signs, findings of nerve conduction studies (NCS), cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), therapeutic remedies, nadir time, and length of hospital stay of patients with MFS in southern China. We concurrently compared the differences between urban and rural areas and between patients with incomplete ophthalmoplegia (IO) and complete ophthalmoplegia (CO). RESULTS The study enrolled 72 patients: 36 from rural areas and 36 from urban areas, and 50 males and 22 females. The mean age at onset was 47.72 years, and 30 (41.7%) and 21 (29.2%) patients developed MFS in spring and winter, respectively. The typical triad of ophthalmoplegia, ataxia, and areflexia was observed in 50 (69.4%) patients. A history of upper respiratory tract infection 1 week before onset was found in 52.8% of the patients, while 5.6% experienced gastrointestinal infections and 48 (73.8%) exhibited albuminocytological dissociation in the CSF study. Only 26 (36.1%) patients presented abnormalities in NCS. Moreover, restricted outward eyeball movement presented in 83.5% of the patients with classic MFS and acute ophthalmoplegia, and bilateral symmetrical ophthalmoplegia presented in 64.2%. With the exception of the higher proportion of NCS abnormalities in urban areas (47.2% vs. 25.0%), urban and rural differences were insignificant regarding sex ratio, age at onset, high-incidence season, precursor events, disease characteristics, and albuminocytological dissociation in the CSF. Furthermore, patients with CO were older than those with IO (64.53±7.69 vs. 43.19±14.40 years [mean±standard deviation], p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS The patients with MFS were mostly male and middle-aged, and most presented in winter and (especially) spring. More than half of the patients had clear precursor events, most of which were classic MFS with the typical triad. More than 70% of the patients presented albuminocytological dissociation in the CSF. NCS abnormalities were uncommon in MFS. The age at onset was lower in patients with IO than in patients with CO; bilateral symmetrical extraocular muscle paralysis was the most common symptom, and the external rectus was the most frequently involved muscle.

Abstract
RATIONALE Anti-ganglioside antibodies (AGA) play an essential role in the development of Miller-Fisher syndrome (MFS). The positive rate of ganglioside antibodies was exceptionally high in MFS, especially anti-GQ1b antibodies. However, the presence of other ganglioside antibodies does not exclude MFS. PATIENT CONCERNS We present a 48-year-old male patient who suddenly developed dizziness, visual rotation, nausea, and vomiting accompanied by unsteady gait and diplopia for 3 days before presentation to our clinic. DIAGNOSES On physical examination, the patient's right eye could not fully move to the right side and horizontal nystagmus was found. Coordination was also impaired in the upper and lower extremities with dysmetria and dysdiadochokinesia. The electromyography and cerebrospinal fluid examination results were normal. The serum anti-GQlb antibody test results were negative. However, serum anti-GD1b IgM and anti-GM1 IgM antibodies were positive. Meanwhile, the anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody was >600.00 IU/mL (0.00-34.00), and the anti-SS-A/Ro52 antibody was positive. He was diagnosed with MFS. INTERVENTIONS The patient received IVIg treatment for 5 days (0.4 g/kg/day) from day 2 to day 6 of hospitalization. On the 7th day of admission, the patient was administered intravenous methylprednisolone (500 mg/day), which was gradually reduced. OUTCOMES The patient's symptoms improved after treatment with immunoglobulins and hormones. LESSONS We report a case of MFS with positive anti-GD1b and anti-GM1 antibodies combined with multiple autoimmune antibodies. Positive ganglioside antibodies may be used as supporting evidence for the diagnosis; however, the diagnosis of MFS is more dependent on clinical symptoms.

Abstract
Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) and Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS) are acute immune-mediated peripheral neuropathies. In addition to their classic presentations, a variety of other signs and symptoms have been reported; however, headache appears to be relatively uncommon. We describe a 53-year-old woman who presented with acute bulbar palsy as the first symptom of overlapping MFS/GBS accompanied by severe headache. The first important clinical impairment of the patient was acute bulbar palsy along with prominent headache, without limb weakness. Although her initial diagnosis was acute bulbar palsy plus, she subsequently developed lower limb diffuse weakness, and her final clinical diagnosis was overlapping MFS/GBS. Anti-ganglioside antibodies were positive for anti-GQ1b and anti-GT1a immunoglobulin G. The patient received intravenous immunoglobulin on day 2 of admission. Early identification of these overlapping syndromes is important for the management of patients, to avoid respiratory failure or severe weakness with axonal degeneration. We therefore remind clinicians of the importance of further examination in patients with headache and acute bulbar palsy of unknown origin.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS), regarded by many scholars as a variant of Guillain Barre syndrome (GBS), accounts for approximately 5% to 10% of GBS cases. The typical clinical manifestations of MFS are extraocular muscle paralysis, ataxia, and tendon reflex loss or disappearance. To date, intestinal obstruction has rarely been reported as the initial symptom. PATIENT CONCERNS A 48-year-old woman presenting with abdominal pain and distention was diagnosed with paralytic ileus. There was no significant improvement in symptoms after symptomatic treatment. After that, the patient developed visual rotation, with limited binocular abduction and adduction, and ataxia. Anti-ganglioside testing revealed positive anti-ganglioside antibodies. DIAGNOSIS The patient was diagnosed as MFS. INTERVENTIONS The early stage is mainly symptomatic treatment of paralytic ileus. After MFS was diagnosed, the patient was given large amounts of immunoglobulin and hormone shock therapy. OUTCOMES After 1 week, the symptoms of intestinal obstruction and MFS gradually improved. The patient was later discharged automatically for financial reasons. Six months after discharge, the patient was interviewed by telephone, and she had recovered. CONCLUSION To date, intestinal obstruction has rarely been reported as the initial symptom. In case of inconsistencies between the imaging examinations and clinical symptoms, neuroelectrophysiology and cerebrospinal fluid puncture should be performed, striving for timely detection and treatment.

Abstract
A boy, aged 1 year and 7 months, was hospitalized due to weakness in both lower limbs and blepharoptosis, which showed progressive aggravation and developed into irregular breathing. Neurological examinations showed lethargy, blepharoptosis, grade 4 muscle strength of both upper limbs, grade 3 muscle strength of both lower limbs, and disappearance of tendon reflex. Laboratory tests revealed albuminocytological dissociation in cerebrospinal fluid, disappearance of H reflex, and positive serum anti-GD1b IgG. The boy was finally diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) overlapping with Miller-Fisher syndrome and Bickerstaff brainstem encephalitis. He recovered and was discharged after treatment including immunoglobulin, plasma exchange, and respiratory support. The GBS overlap syndromes in children have strong clinical heterogeneity due to the injury of both peripheral nerve and brainstem, among which anti-GD1b antibody-related GBS overlap syndromes have special clinical manifestations and complex neuroelectrophysiological changes and are thus difficult to diagnose. Nerve conduction velocity tests, especially H reflex test, should be performed for children with weakness in both lower limbs and blepharoptosis.

Abstract
Objetivo: Reportar el caso de una paciente gestante con síndrome de Guillain-Barré (SGB) presentado en la variante denominada síndrome de Miller Fisher (SMF), y realizar una revisión en torno al diagnóstico, tratamiento y pronóstico de esta variedad de SGB durante la gestación. Materiales y métodos: Se presenta el caso de una gestante de 27 semanas con síndrome de Miller Fisher, quien fue tratada con plasmaféresis en un hospital militar de referencia, con evolución satisfactoria a los 15 días y continuación normal del embarazo, parto a las 38 semanas con recién nacido sano. Se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica en bases de datos electrónicas: Medline vía PubMed, Lilacs, SciELO, ScienceDirect, Ovid, con los términos “Embarazo”, “Síndrome de Miller Fisher”, “Síndrome de Guillain-Barré”. Se incluyeron cohortes, series y reportes de casos de mujeres gestantes con síndrome de Miller Fisher; se extrajo información sobre los métodos diagnósticos, el tratamiento utilizado y el pronóstico materno y perinatal. La búsqueda se hizo en junio de 2020, sin restricción por fecha, pero sí por tipo de idioma (español e inglés). Resultados: Se identificaron 423 títulos, tres estudios cumplieron los criterios de inclusión, los tres correspondieron a reportes de caso. Todos los casos mostraron seropositividad para antigangliósidos GQ1b positivos; en ningún caso hubo alteración imagenológica. Dos pacientes recibieron inmunoglobulina intravenosa y la tercera paciente se dejó en observación. Hasta el momento no se documentan complicaciones obstétricas. Conclusión: Existen pocos casos reportados de SMF durante la gestación, el diagnóstico se basa en el examen clínico; el tratamiento con inmunoglobulina IV representa la alternativa utilizada con mayor frecuencia. En el caso presentado se utilizó la plasmaféresis. Se desconoce el impacto de la variedad del síndrome de Miller Fisher sobre el curso normal de la gestación y sobre los resultados perinatales a largo plazo. Se requieren más estudios que aborden el diagnóstico, el tratamiento y el pronóstico de esta entidad.

Abstract
Pupil palsy has been a frequent finding in Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS), but its clinical characteristics have not been clearly defined. The basis for differential diagnosis with other diseases with pupil palsy has also remained vague. We report cases of four MFS patients with bilateral pupil palsy and specify pupil characteristics of light-near dissociation (LND), cholinergic super-sensitivity, vermiform movements, and prognosis. We conducted a literature review to compare with our cases and investigate common findings of pupil palsy in MFS patients. We suggest that the acute generalized pupil palsy without vermiform movements can serve as a key finding for the diagnosis of pupil palsy associated with MFS. However, the presence of LND and cholinergic super-sensitivity was not distinctive clinical findings in MFS patients who had pupil palsy and did not prove useful for differential diagnosis. The prognosis of pupil palsy in MFS patients was good in our 4 cases and the literature review.

High-resolution MR imaging of cranial neuropathy in patients with anti-GQ1b antibody syndrome. J Neurol Sci 2021; 423:117380. [PMID: 33677393 DOI: 10.1016/j.jns.2021.117380] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2020] [Revised: 01/27/2021] [Accepted: 02/24/2021] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The value of conventional MRI in patients anti-GQ1b antibody syndrome is subject to debate. Our purpose was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of high-resolution MRI for detecting cranial nerve abnormalities in patients with anti-GQ1b antibody syndrome. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective cohort study enrolled 15 anti-GQ1b-positive patients diagnosed with MFS and related disorders and 17 age-matched controls, all of whom underwent high-resolution MR imaging including pre-contrast and contrast-enhanced (CE) 3D FLAIR and 3D CE T1-weighted turbo field echo (T1-TFE) between 2010 and 2016. The diagnostic performance of high-resolution MRI was assessed using the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristics curve. Inter- and intraobserver agreements were calculated using kappa statistics and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC), respectively. RESULTS Ophthalmoplegia, ataxia, and hypo/areflexia were present in 100%, 60%, and 67%, respectively. Other neurologic findings included ptosis (40%), mydriasis (13%), and facial (27%) and bulbar (13%) palsy. Fourteen of sixteen (88%) MR examinations in 15 patients demonstrated at least one cranial nerve abnormality corresponding to the clinical findings. The involved cranial nerves on MRI were the IIIrd cranial nerve in 14 patients, VIth in nine, VIIth in four, Vth in one, and VIIIth in one. AUC values for detecting cranial neuropathy on high-resolution MRI were 0.938 (95% CI: 0.795-0.992) on a per patient basis. Inter- and intraobserver agreements were 0.842 and 0.945, respectively. CONCLUSION High-resolution 3D FLAIR and CE 3D T1-TFE MRI has high reliability and accuracy for demonstrating cranial neuropathy in patients with anti-GQ1b antibody syndrome.

Abstract
Influenza vaccines are known to have a few neurological complications, such as Guillain-Barre syndrome, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, and acute disseminated encephalomyelitis. However, oculomotor palsy caused by influenza vaccination is extremely rare. We present a case report of a 25-year-old woman without any medical history who developed complete oculomotor palsy 2 weeks after influenza vaccination. Other possible causes of oculomotor nerve palsy, such as stroke, compressive lesions, infections, and autoimmune disorders, were eliminated by blood tests, cerebrospinal fluid examination, and imaging studies. Hence, influenza vaccine was considered as the likely cause.

Abstract
Classic and overlapping Miller-Fisher syndrome (MFS) have divergent clinical courses. Few studies have addressed the electrophysiological evaluation of MFS patients, most of them carried out in Asia. This work describes and compares their clinical and neurophysiological characteristics. From a Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) patient cohort, we made a selection of twenty MFS cases. We defined classic and overlapping MFS, as stated by Wakerley et al. (Nat Rev Neurol 10(9):537-544, 2014). We describe and compare clinical, biochemical, and electrodiagnostic parameters between groups. Seventy-five percent were men, mean age was 42.2 ± 13.6 years, and 45% had a Hughes score ≥ 3. MFS/GBS was the most frequent clinical subtype with 50%. Almost one-third had unaltered electrophysiological studies. Comparative analysis between groups showed statistically significant differences in length of stay, dysautonomia presence, and treatment type. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that 100% of the patients had an independent walk at 3 months. This study reports Mexican MFS patient's characteristics and represents the most extensive case series in Latin America. We observed a high proportion of overlapping syndromes, a good recovery profile, and no significant severe complications.

Selective cranial multineuritis in severe COVID-19 pneumonia: two cases and literature review. Neurol Sci 2021; 42:1643-1648.

Abstract
Objective To report two cases of cranial multineuritis after severe acute respiratory syndrome caused by coronavirus-2. Methods Patients’ data were obtained from medical records of the clinical chart of dell’Angelo Hospital, Venice, Italy. Results The first patient is a 42-year-old male patient who developed, 10 days after the resolution of coronavirus-2 pneumonia and intensive care unit hospitalization with hyperactive delirium, a cranial multineuritis with asymmetric distribution (bilateral hypoglossus involvement and right Claude Bernard Horner syndrome). No albumin-cytologic dissociation was found in cerebrospinal fluid; severe bilateral denervation was detected in hypoglossus nerve, with normal EMG of other cranial muscles, blink reflex, and cerebral magnetic resonance with gadolinium. He presented a striking improvement after intravenous human immunoglobulin therapy. The second case is a 67-year-old male patient who developed a cranial neuritis (left hypoglossus paresis), with dyslalia and deglutition difficulties. He had cerebrospinal fluid abnormalities (albumin-cytologic dissociation), no involvement of ninth and 10th cranial nerves, diffuse hyporeflexia, and brachial diparesis. Discussion Cranial neuritis is a possible neurological manifestation of coronavirus-2 pneumonia. Etiology is not clear: it is possible a direct injury of the nervous structures by the virus through olfactory nasopharyngeal terminations. However, the presence of albumin-cytological dissociation in one patient, the sparing of the sense of smell, and the response to human immunoglobulin therapy suggests an immune-mediated genesis of the disorder.

Abstract
Background: We aimed to investigate the characteristic presentation of Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS) in pediatrics and compare it with that in adults. Methods: We performed a retrospective review of medical records, laboratory findings, and disease course of pediatric MFS. The data were compared with those of adult MFS, and literature review was done. Unpaired and paired comparisons between groups were made using Wilcoxon rank-sum and signed-rank tests, respectively. Results: Median age for pediatric MFS was 9.8 ± 6.5 years. There were 5 (45.5%) male and 6 (54.5%) female patients. All patients had preceding infection. Two patients (22.2%) had tested positive for anti-GQ1b antibody. Ten patients (90.1%) were treated with intravenous immunoglobulin, and 2 (18.2%) also received intravenous methylprednisolone. Within one month, 8 (72.7%) patients showed recovery, and all 11 (100%) recovered fully within 3 months. Further, the pediatric group had higher frequency of unilateral involvement of ophthalmoplegia, ataxia, and autonomic symptoms but lower antiganglioside antibody positivity and manifestations of areflexia than the adult group. Conclusions: Neuro-ophthalmic manifestations and disease course of pediatric MFS were similar to those of adult MFS as stated in the literature. However, the presence of autonomic symptoms was higher and anti-GQ1b antibody positivity was lower in pediatric MFS than in adult MFS.

Abstract
A 56-year-old man with a remote history of bilateral recurrent facial palsies presented with a week of ophthalmoplegia with intact deep tendon reflexes and lack of ataxia, cerebrospinal fluid with albuminocytologic dissociation and elevated serum anti-ganglioside Q1b (GQ1b) IgG antibody. We diagnosed the patient with acute ophthalmoplegia without ataxia, a condition under the spectrum of anti-GQ1b antibody syndromes which also includes Miller Fisher syndrome. Given the rarity of recurrent facial palsies and anti-GQ1b antibody syndromes as well as reports associating facial palsies and this syndrome, we suggest that our case may be an unusual presentation of an anti-GQ1b antibody syndrome beginning with recurrent facial palsies several years prior to ophthalmoplegia. Prior studies of human nerves provide insight into the pathophysiology, including ganglioside distribution and cross-reactivities underlying the heterogeneity of anti-GQ1b antibody syndromes. This report may expand the differential diagnosis in patients with recurrent facial palsies and broaden the phenotype of anti-GQ1b syndromes.

Abstract
A 71-year-old man developed dysphagia, bilateral lower extremity muscle weakness and weight loss. He was admitted to the hospital after a failed formal swallow evaluation, nearly 3 weeks after symptom onset. In addition to dysphagia and weakness, physical examination was notable for hypophonia, dysarthria, diplopia, horizontal ophthalmoparesis, ptosis, ataxia and hyporeflexia. Cerebrospinal fluid was notable for albuminocytological dissociation and serum anti-GQ1b antibody titre was elevated (1:200). A diagnosis of Miller-Fisher syndrome (MFS) was made, and the patient was treated with intravenous immunoglobulin (0.4 g/kg/day) for 5 days, which resulted in resolution of symptoms. This is an atypical case of MFS, in that the presenting symptom was progressive dysphagia rather than the ophthalmoplegia and ataxia that are normally seen in MFS. Patients who present with dysphagia should receive a thorough neurological examination, with particular attention to extraocular movements, reflexes and gait stability, to rule out MFS as a potential cause.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This article will update and review the Miller Fisher variants (MFV) of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) including the clinical presentation, diagnostic testing, and treatment. RECENT FINDINGS Although the diagnosis of GBS and MFV can be made on clinical grounds, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis, nerve conduction studies, imaging (e.g. ultrasound and MRI), and serologic testing can help to confirm the diagnosis. Some patients may need immunotherapy with either intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) or plasma exchange, and recent studies suggest that complement inhibition combined with IVIg could be of benefit, but further studies are needed to prove efficacy. SUMMARY GBS is characterized by an acute, ascending polyneuropathy, ataxia, areflexia, and CSF albuminocytologic dissociation. The MFV of GBS is associated with ophthalmoplegia. Clinicians should have high index of suspicion for MFV of GBS in patients with acute ophthalmoplegia in order to establish the diagnosis, perform appropriate evaluation, and start treatment.
