Opsoclonus myoclonus syndrome: an unusual presentation for West Nile virus encephalitis.

Aasim Afzal1, Sahar Ashraf1, Sadat Shamim1.   

Abstract

A record number of West Nile virus (WNV) cases and fatalities seen in 2012 have brought to light the numerous manifestations of neuroinvasive disease. We report a case of opsoclonus myoclonus syndrome attributed to WNV and its clinical course after treatment with a combination of steroids and intravenous immunoglobulin. Our objective is to highlight opsoclonus myoclonus syndrome as a potential manifestation of WNV encephalitis.
