description Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS) is an uncommon systemic autoimmune condition. Recurrent Miller Fisher syndrome is extremely rare. We want to highlight a rare case of recurrent Miller Fisher syndrome, which manifested as external and internal ophthalmoplegia, areflexia, and ataxia following an episode of upper respiratory tract infection (URTI). The patient developed a recurrent attack of Miller Fisher syndrome two months later with only internal and external ophthalmoplegia symptoms. Both episodes wholly resolved in a month without treatment. Miller Fisher syndrome can mimic various other neurological illnesses. Therefore, diagnosing this disease is often challenging. However, prompt diagnosis and management can be achieved with awareness of this rare illness.
