Abstract
- Opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome (OMS) is a rare neurologic disorder characterized by progressive opsoclonus (irregular, rapid, horizontal and vertical eye movements), myoclonus, cerebellar dysfunction and severe hypotonia. Here we present the case of a 19-year-old man with OMS induced by mumps virus infection. Emergency physicians should know about the typical presentation of OMS and make a proper response.
