Bilateral Ocular Paralysis: Analysis of 31 Inpatients
Arch Neurol 64:178-180, Keane,J.R., 2007
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
The personal records of 134440 neurology and neurosurgery inpatients were reviewed. Eighteen (58%) of 31 patients had Fisher syndrome (13 cases) or Guillain-Barr syndrome (5 cases). Four cases resulted from midbrain infarction, 3 from myasthenia, and 1 each from pituitary apoplexy, skull base metastasis, botulism, mucormycosis, phenytoin toxicity, and trauma. Many conditions produce complete ophthalmoplegia on rare occasions, but Fisher syndrome, which paralyzes the eyes in nearly one third of cases, was by far the commonest cause.
