Intravenous Immunoglobulin Therapy for Miller Fisher Syndrome
Neurol 68:1144-1146, Mori,M.,et al, 2007
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We analyzed clinical recovery of 92 patients with Miller Fisher syndrome who had been treated with IV immunoglobulin (IVIg;n=28) plasmapheresis (n=23), and no immune treatment (n=41). IVIg slightly hastened the amelioration of ophthalmoplegia and ataxia, but the times of the disappearances of those symptoms wee similar among three groups. In Miller Fisher syndrome, IVIg and plasmapheresis seem not to have influenced patients outcomes, presumably because of good natural recovery.
