Case report: Opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome associated with abdominal neuroblastoma

Abstract

Opsoclonus-ataxia, also called “dancing eye syndrome,” is a serious neurologic condition that is often a paraneoplastic manifestation of occult neuroblastoma in early childhood. Although survival is high with anti-tumoral treatment and immunosuppressive therapy, outcome generally includes significant developmental and behavioral sequelae. We report a case diagnosed at nine month of age, treated in our Unit and refered for a multidisciplinary neuropsychological rehabilitation when she was 4 year old.
