Overlap of Miller-Fisher Syndrome and Pharyngeal-Cervical-Brachial Variant Secondary to COVID-19 in Recurrent Guillain-Barré Syndrome: A Case Report.

Miller-Fisher syndrome (MFS) is characterized by the three major components of ophthalmoplegia, ataxia, and areflexia. The occurrence of MFS is relatively uncommon because of its monophasic nature, while recurrent Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a well-known condition. The pharyngeal-cervical-brachial (PCB) variant is a scarce variant of GBS (3%), which presents with muscle weakness initially involving the neck, oropharynx, and upper extremities.
