Abstract
Miller Fisher Syndrome (MFS) is an acute, autoimmune polyneuropathy usually associated with a good prognosis which is clinically characterized by ataxia, ophtalmoplegia, and areflexia. MFS has a monophasic course, double recurrence can be seen in rare cases. But three attacks are very rare. In this article, we discussed a rare case of MFS and approach to the treatment that recurred 3 times within a period of 8 years. It is emphasized that MFS cases may occur a recurring pattern, and plasma exchange should be definitely tried as a therapeutic approach when clinical deterioration occurs under intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) therapy.
