Abstract
Opsoclonus Myoclonus Syndrome(OMS) is a severe Autoimmune CNS disorder which predominantly affects young children and causes lifelong neurological disability. Adult onset OMS is rare. About 50% of children with Opsoclonus Myoclonus have Neuroblastoma. In adults, OMS is most frequently due to viral infections. Only 20% of adults have underlying cancer. We are presenting one such case of probable Paraneoplastic OMS in an adult patient.
