Postinfectious SARS-CoV-2 Opsoclonus-Myoclonus-Ataxia Syndrome
Conclusion:
A recent simulation model of macrosaccadic oscillations and OMAS proposes a combined pathology of brainstem and cerebellar because of increased GABAA receptor sensitivity. In this case report, we report 1 patient with elevated CSF neuronal specific enolase, macrosaccadic oscillations, ocular flutter, and OMAS as a SARS-CoV-2 postinfectious complication. Opsoclonus emerged predominantly with fixation block and suppressed with fixation, providing support to modern theories on the mechanism responsible for these ocular oscillations involving cerebellar-brainstem pathogenesis.
