We report the use of HRUS in 2 patients who presented with acute ataxic neuropathy, areflexia, and ophthalmoparesis. <jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>: Ultrasound and\/or nerve conduction studies (NCS) of peripheral nerves, the vagus, and spinal nerves C5\/6 were performed at onset and 2 weeks after immunoglobulin therapy. <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>: Both patients fulfilled criteria for diagnosis of Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS). Laboratory findings revealed elevated ganglioside Q1b antibodies in both and an albuminolocytologic dissociation in 1 patient. In addition, 1 patient had NCS evidence for demyelinating neuropathy. However, ultrasound showed focal enlargement in the vagus, the spinal nerves, and\/or in the peripheral nerves in both patients. After therapy, nerve enlargement decreased in parallel with clinical improvement. <jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>: Spinal and\/or peripheral nerve enlargement supports the diagnosis of MFS in early phases of the disease. <jats:italic>Muscle Nerve<\/jats:italic> <jats:bold>52<\/jats:bold>: 1106\u20131110, 2015<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.24753","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,29]],"date-time":"2015-06-29T23:14:50Z","timestamp":1435619690000},"page":"1106-1110","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Nerve ultrasound in miller fisher variant of Guillain\u2013Barr\u00e9 syndrome"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"52","author":[{"given":"Bernhard F.","family":"D\u00e9card","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology Basel University Hospital Petersgraben 4 CH\u20104031 Basel Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Joachim","family":"Fladt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology Basel University Hospital Petersgraben 4 CH\u20104031 Basel Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hubertus","family":"Axer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hans Berger Department of Neurology Jena University Hospital Jena Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dirk","family":"Fischer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology Basel University Hospital Petersgraben 4 CH\u20104031 Basel Switzerland"},{"name":"Division of Neuropaediatrics University Children's Hospital Basel Basel Switzerland"},{"name":"University Clinic of Internal Medicine Kantonsspital Baselland Bruderholz Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alexander","family":"Grimm","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology Basel University Hospital Petersgraben 4 CH\u20104031 Basel Switzerland"},{"name":"Department of Neurology and Epileptology University of Tuebingen Tuebingen Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/brain\/awt285"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(05)67665-9"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ana.410270707"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ana.410230407"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ana.410440512"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/nrneurol.2014.121"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/nrneurol.2014.138"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM195607122550201"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jnnp.2008.154351"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1529-8027.2011.00338.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.21431"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00415-013-7123-8"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.clinph.2014.06.051"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jns.12091"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.23325"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jns5.12037"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.24238"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0033-1356385"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_20_1","first-page":"664","volume-title":"Electromyography and neuromuscular disorders, clinical\u2013electrophysiological correlations","author":"Preston D","year":"2013"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_21_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.nmd.2014.06.431"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_22_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005792-196905000-00001"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_23_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jns.2014.02.019"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_24_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.24192"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_25_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.clinph.2015.01.011"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_26_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1212\/WNL.37.9.1493"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_27_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jns.2011.07.042"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_28_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ultrasmedbio.2013.03.031"}],"container-title":["Muscle &amp;
