Opsoclonus Myoclonus Syndrome Due to an Ovarian Teratoma: A Case Report and Review of Literature

Karthik Vinay Mahesh et al. Neuroophthalmology. .

Abstract

The importance of ovarian teratoma as a cause of opsoclonus myoclonus ataxia syndrome (OMAS) and other paraneoplastic syndromes continues to be underestimated. A strong suspicion and appropriate diagnosis remain keys to successful outcome of paraneoplastic OMAS with ovarian teratoma. We report a 14-year-old girl with paraneoplastic OMAS in association with an ovarian teratoma who improved completely following resection of tumour as well as immunotherapy and review the literature briefly.

Keywords: Opsoclonus; ataxia; myoclonus; teratoma.
