Résumé
Opsoclonus myoclonus ataxia syndrome (OMAS) is a rare inflammatory neurological disorder characterized by ocular, motor, behavioral, language, and sleep disturbances. It usually affects infants and young children but may affect adults. A 28-year-old male was brought to our emergency ward with complaints of involuntary spontaneous eye movements and jerky movements of limbs with imbalance while walking. He had a history of short febrile illness 10 days prior. His magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis, and other routine investigations were normal. The patient was treated with injectable methylprednisolone (1 g) given for five days along with other supportive therapy. A significant reduction in the opsoclonus, myoclonus, and ataxia was seen on a six-month follow-up. OMAS should be identified early to avoid the use of inappropriate medications, and immunotherapy must be provided as early as possible in order to prevent irreversible neurological damage.
