The Fisher syndrome (FS) is named after Charles Miller Fisher, a Canadian neurologist. In 1956, Miller Fisher described three patients with acute external ophthalmoplegia, absent tendon reflexes, and ataxia, who recovered spontaneously (Fisher, 1956). Some cases start as FS but subsequently develop w eakness. Finally, work over last two decades indicates that some forms of GBS lack features of demyelination and have pathophysiology that is consistent with axonal injury these cases are termed axonal GBS.
