Opsoclonus inducing retinal detachment with a macular hole.
A 34-year-old man was admitted to the eye department because of conjugate abnormal eye movements and visual field defect of the right eye. Cerebellitis with opsoclonus and retinal detachment with a macular hole were diagnosed. Corticosteroids, diazepam and antibiotics were given. When the opsoclonus was improved, an operation for the retinal detachment was performed as usual, and the retina was reattached. We consider that the opsoclonus greatly contributed to the occurrence and development of the retinal detachment.
