ataxia&#44; and areflexia&#46; Its course is usually monophasic and it is one of the least frequent subtypes of GBS&#46;</p><p id="par0060" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Our patient presented symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection one week before syndrome onset&#44; which is in line with descriptions found in the literature&#46; The most relevant point in our case is the atypical initial manifestation as internal ophthalmoplegia with non-reactive mid-size pupils&#44; as well as fronto-orbital headache&#46; Internal ophthalmoplegia is much less frequent than external ophthalmoplegia&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0015"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3&#44;4</span></a> The literature contains few references to presence of internal ophthalmoplegia in the absence of the external type&#44;

anti-GQ1b IgG antibodies are present in more than 90&#37; of MFS cases&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0035"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">7&#8211;9</span></a> This is because oculomotor nerves and the optic nerve contain large quantities of GQ1b gangliosides&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0050"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">10</span></a> Evaluating these antibodies and other gangliosides is helpful but not essential to the diagnostic process&#46; In our case&#44; no anti-GQ1b IgG antibodies were detected despite the fact that the patient presented external and internal ophthalmoplegia&#44; but this does not rule out MFS&#46; In this case&#44; the diagnosis was determined based on clinical signs&#44; albuminocytological dissociation in CSF&#44; and having ruled out other processes&#46;</p><p id="par0080" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Neurophysiological studies were not necessary in this case given that clinical progression and CSF analyses provided sufficient data&#46;

and her condition had resolved completely within 2 months&#46;</p><p id="par0090" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In conclusion&#44; we present a rare case of MFS with an exceptional form of onset consisting of isolated internal ophthalmoplegia and fronto-orbital headache&#46; Furthermore&#44; anti-GQ1b IgG antibodies are not present even though the patient presented internal and external ophthalmoplegia&#46; The incidence rate of this condition has probably been underestimated since it may be overlooked in the initial diagnostic process when symptoms are so mild that they may spontaneously resolve&#46; In our case&#44; lack of concomitant neurological signs meant that onset could have been overlooked&#44; but the condition progressed rapidly in this patient&#44; resulting in manifestation of the classic triad&#46; We must be aware of this type of condition since it progresses quickly and consequences for patients may be severe&#46;</p></span>"
