The disease carries the name of Gregory Call and Marie Fleming, the first authors of the 1988 report in which doctors from Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts (including Miller Fisher) described four patients with the characteristic symptoms and abnormal cerebral angiogram findings.
In 1971, C. Miller Fisher, a Canadian neurologist and stroke physician working at Massachusetts General Hospital, first noted the "string sign" abnormality in carotid arteries on cerebral angiograms of stroke patients, and subsequently discovered that the same abnormality could occur in the vertebral arteries.
