Late central demyelination after Fischer's syndrome: MRI studies

J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry. 1993 Jun;56(6):698-9. doi: 10.1136/jnnp.56.6.698.

Abstract

The case of a patient who presented with clinical, electrophysiological, and MRI evidence of central demyelination is described. The patient had been admitted to hospital for Fischer's syndrome a few years previously. The association of these two events suggests that central and peripheral myelinopathy may be related in Fischer's syndrome.
