Opsoclonus-Myoclonus-Ataxia Syndrome Due to Covid-19.

Opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome (OMS) as a rare neurological encephalopathic entity associated with non-specific infections or cancer processes has been repeatedly described in the setting of SARS-CoV-2 infection. We report a case of a 53-year-old man with SARS-CoV-2 infection, who developed clinical features of opsoclonus-myoclonus ataxia syndrome including cognitive impairments with a prolonged course of disease. Of particular note, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis revealed the production of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibodies, suggesting an underlying neuroimmunological mechanism associated with infection with the novel SARS-CoV-2 virus.
