Published: March 2020

A 73-year-old woman presented with 3 years of monocular visual distortion and progressive binocular diplopia. She was found to have a comitant left hypertropia due to an epiretinal membrane causing inferior foveal drag. Displacement of the fovea from an epiretinal membrane is a likely under-recognized cause ocular cause of a comitant binocular diplopia.

Shunt dependence syndrome is a serious long-term complication characterized by symptoms and signs of increased intracranial pressure with normal-sized lateral ventricles after several years of arachnoid cyst-peritoneal shunting. It is easy to misdiagnose and overlook when combined with sinus stenosis, thus delaying treatment. Here, we present a 35-year-old man with an unexplained headache and binocular horizontal diplopia with high intracranial pressure.

The increasing use of immune checkpoint inhibitors in clinical practice is associated with a broad spectrum of immune-related adverse events, such as cardiac, rheumatological and neurological toxicities. Myocarditis is a life-threatening complication, and the concurrent development of myocarditis, myositis and/or myasthenia leads to difficulties in diagnosis, management and treatment. We describe a case presenting with this triple M overlap syndrome following pembrolizumab treatment.

An Atypical Case of Miller Fisher Syndrome.

November 2024

Internal Medicine, Summa Health, Akron, USA.

Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS) is a rare variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) characterized by a classic triad of external ophthalmoplegia, ataxia, and areflexia, often following a recent infection.  Understanding atypical presentations of MFS is crucial for timely diagnosis and management, as the syndrome may be mistaken for other neurological disorders. This report aims to highlight the clinical journey of the patient, including symptom onset, diagnostic challenges, and therapeutic interventions, with a discussion of the broader implications of such atypical cases in the context of MFS.
