Opsoclonus myoclonus
syndrome, one of the paraneoplastic neurological syndromes involving several neurological symptoms that result from "remote effects" of cancer, is a rare disease characterized by opsoclonus, cerebellar ataxia and myoclonus of the trunk and extremities. A 53-year-old man was admitted with
dizziness
and difficulty walking. Medical examinations led to a diagnosis of opsoclonus myoclonus syndrome.
