After BNT162b2 messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination, a 30-year-old man developed bilateral lateral gaze palsy, diplopia, absent tendon reflexes, and ataxic gait. Serum anti-GQ1b and anti-GT1a immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies were strongly positive. Based on those findings, he was diagnosed with Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS). Intravenous immunoglobulin therapy was administered, and his symptoms fully recovered within approximately 3 months. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report to describe the development of MFS after COVID-19 mRNA vaccination.
