title: Paraneoplastic opsoclonus-myoclonus ataxia associated with non-small-cell lung carcinoma.
abstract: We report a case of the paraneoplastic opsoclonus-myoclonus ataxia syndrome in a patient with non-small cell lung carcinoma, which represents a highly unusual association. The patient simultaneously manifested both severe neurologic symptoms and widely metastatic disease, complicating her treatment.
