Abstract

Opsoclonus-myoclonus may be caused by various neurological conditions and toxic-metabolic states, but typically occurs as a parainfectious or paraneoplastic manifestation. The development of opsoclonus-myo-clonus has been variably attributed to lesions in the pons or cerebellum. Herein the authors describe a case of opsoclonus-myoclonus due to posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome in which magnetic resonance imaging revealed lesions in the region of the cerebellar dentate nuclei. Clinical and radiological resolution of the opsoclonus-myoclonus and of the posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome followed antihyperten-sive therapy.
