BRAINSTEM ENCEPHALITIS AND THE SYNDROME OF MILLER FISHER A CLINICAL STUDY

AMIR NAJIM AL-DIN, MILNE ANDERSON, EDWIN R. BICKERSTAFF and IAN HARVEY

From The Midland Centre for Neurosurgery and Neurology, Holly Lane, Smethwick, Warley West Midlands B67 7JX

The clinical details of 18 cases of brainstem encephalitis are presented. Correlation of the clinical course with radiological and pathological findings confirms that this is not a variant of polyradiculitis or the Guillain-Barré syndrome, but is a distinct clinical entity which carries a benign prognosis.

Received December 1, 1981. Revised March 16, 1982.
