A 49-year-old woman presented with fever, malaise, and enlarged left axillary lymph nodes after a cat bit her left hand, leading to the diagnosis of cat scratch disease. On the fifth day of admission, she had rapid, chaotic, and impulsive eye movements that appeared to be opsoclonus. Opsoclonus is a characteristic and rare ocular manifestation that occurs in association with infections and other diseases, and which will be shown in the accompanying video.
