Abstract
Opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome (OMS) is an infrequent yet serious neurologic entity related to neoplastic, infectious, toxic, and metabolic diseases. In recent years, OMS associated with multiple infections have been reported. In contrast to neoplastic and autoimmune etiologies, OMS from infectious diseases occurs in younger patients and has a favorable outcome. Though the data are limited, the use of corticosteroids and immunotherapy remain the treatments of choice for the management of OMS symptoms. We present a patient case of OMS possibility associated with mumps virus in an immunocompetent young adult who was successfully treated with steroids.
