摘 要:Background:The coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)pandemic,caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2),began in late *** recently,there have been sporadic case reports on devel-opment of Miller-Fisher Syndrome,a rare variant of Guillain-BarréSyndrome in COVID-19 *** report:We reported herein the case of a French young women presenting with ophtalmoplegia,cerebellar ataxia,and universal areflexia following a bariatric surgery(sleeve gastrectomy).A concomitant COVID-19 diagnosis was retained based on microbiological *** patient was successfully treated after high-dose intravenous thiamine,but areflexia *** COVID-19 related Miller-Fisher Syndrome was established on physical examination and confirmed by pathologic neurophysiological findings and elevated level of phosphorylated neurofilament heavy chain protein in cerebrospinal fluid ***:Guillain-BarréSyndrome and its variants after SARS-CoV-2 infection are extremely *** mea-surement of phosphorylated neurofilament heavy chain protein should be considered as an easy tool to detect an early affection of the peripheral nervous system.
