Purpose: To report an unusual case of Miller Fisher Syndrome (MFS) in which the patient presented with concurrent right eye uveitis. Case Report: We report a case of a 51-year-old gentleman who presented with typical clinical features of Miller Fisher syndrome including ophthalmoplegia, ataxia, areflexia, ptosis and diplopia following an upper respiratory tract infection. Concurrently, he also had right eye uveitis with raised intraocular pressure. The patient was treated with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), topical steroids and anti-glaucoma eye drops in which he demonstrated good recovery. For diagnostic confirmation, serum antiganglioside antibodies (anti-GQ1b IgG) were later reported to be positive. Conclusion: We described the possible association between MFS and uveitis due to its interrelated pathogenesis. This possible association can lead to early detection and treatment of uveitis.
