title: Post-vaccinic opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome: a case report.
abstract: The opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome is a pathological condition characterized mainly by involuntary myoclonic movements involving ocular, trunk and limb muscles associated with ataxia and other neurological signs.We describe the case of a 30-year-old woman who developed this syndrome 15days after anti-Rubella vaccination. This case suggests a possible autoimmune post-vaccinic etiopathogenesis of opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome, rarely described in the literature.
