| description | Opsoclonus Myoclonus (OMS) is a rare neurological disorder which appears to be the result of an autoimmune dysfunction. It is an extremely
rare condition, affecting as few as 1 in 10,000,000 people every year. It affects 2 to 3% of children. Opsoclonus Myoclonus, which manifests
itself as post infectious encephalopathy, occasionally along with HIV infection, post Streptococcal infection, West Nile virus encephalitis
and Rickettsial infection, most often presents as a paraneoplastic syndrome, which is especially caused by occult neuroblastoma which
is commonly seen in childhood and occurs in adults in relation to breast cancer and small cell lung cancer. In this study, two adult post
infectious cases which had rare manifestations, have been presented. The cases were managed by using corticosteroids. |
