Abstract
Opsoclonus ataxia syndrome is a rare neurological disorder in children and is commonly associated with neuroblastoma. It can be associated with other malignancies, infections, metabolic disorders, toxic medications or autoimmune causes. Here we report a rare case of postinfectious opsoclonus ataxia syndrome secondary to Epstein Barr Virus infection.
