Abstract:
Ocular opsoclonus is a rare disorder of the saccadic system, in which fixation is continuously interrupted by involuntary, chaotic, rapid and multi-directional saccadic eye movements, interrupting the gaze-holding function, leading to“dancing eyes”. Ocular opsoclonus has rarely been reported in China. A case of ocular opsoclonus associated with anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis is reported to improve awareness about the ocular sign. The patient′s condition reached the peak at the 5th week. He developed ocular opsoclonus on the basis of nonconvulsive status epilepticus, accompanied by frequent involuntary movements of the mouth and limbs. The ocular opsoclonus gradually relieved on the 7th week with the active treatment.
