Abstract

Objectives: To describe the effect of traditional Korean medicine and treatment on Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS).
Methods: A 54-year-old woman diagnosed with MFS presented with eyeball dysfunction, diplopia, vertigo, right facial palsy, and back dysesthesia. The patient had been treated with immunoglobulin for 21 d, but her symptoms failed to improve. Thus, herbal medicine, acupuncture, electropuncture, pharmacopuncture, and moxibustion were added. Length of eyeball movement, distance that the patient recognize double images in the eyes and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) are measures for the syndrome.
Results: The symptoms of the patient considerably improved, with the return of eyeball movement to normal and disappearance of diplopia.
Conclusions: The results suggest that Korean medicine may be an effective therapy for MFS.
