Miller Fisher Syndrome
Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS) is a rare variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome characterised by ophthalmoplegia, ataxia, and areflexia, often associated with anti-GQ1b antibodies and favourable recovery.

Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS)
Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is the most common and most severe acute paralytic neuropathy, consisting of multiple variants with distinct clinical and pathological features
