Enteroviral rhombencephalitis presenting with ocular flutter.
Ocular flutter is a dramatic clinical sign that poses multiple diagnostic considerations. The case description outlines a well young male that presented with ocular flutter and truncal ataxia. The clinical syndrome was subsequently attributed to enteroviral rhombencephalitis. The mechanism and neuroanatomical correlates are discussed, and potential treatments considered.
