Bickerstaff encephalitis is a rare and severe inflammatory disease with a serious presentation, which belongs to the spectrum of diseases associated with antiganglioside. Patients present a subacute ophthalmoplegia, ataxia, weakness with pyramidal signs and altered mental status with a recent history of respiratory infections, gastrointestinal infections or both. We report a case of Bickerstaff encephalitis that was diagnosed and treated at the Hospital Nacional de Niños (National Children's Hospital).
