Clinical study on pediatric Fisher's syndrome in Twenty-two cases

Objective: To confirm the pathogenesis and diagnosis of pediatric Fisher's syndrome.Methods: Clinical manifestations and Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were compared and studied in 22 patients diagnosed as Fisher's syndrome.Results:Twenty- two cases of Fisher's syndrome both had the characteristics of ophthalmoplegia and cerebella ataxia,and had different degrees of incomplete flaccid paralysis in the arms and legs. In about half of 22 cases, the CSF showed divergence phenomenon of the protein and cell. Conclusion: Fisher's syndrome is a specific or variant type of AIP involving the cranial nerves, in which the cerebellar ataxia is taken as a main symptom and sign . [
