“…In these cases, it would appear that these treatments may be affecting the underlying autoimmune disorder rather than the myoclonus per se. Paraneoplastic cases are important to recognize as the movement disorder may be the major initial clinical presentation of the cancer [54,58]. Sometimes, treatment of the cancer can be associated with secondary improvement of the myoclonus.…”

“…Opsoclonus may occur intermittently or, if more severe, constantly, and it does not remit in the darkness or when the eyes are closed. Opsoclonus is often associated with diffuse or focal myoclonus, the "dancing eyes and dancing feet syndrome," and other cerebellar and brainstem signs [28,53,54]. An excessive startle response reminiscent of hyperekplexia may also occur The Oncologist ® in opsoclonus-myoclonus patients [55].…”

“…Hunter e Kooistra descreveram em 1986 os achados neuropatológicos em um caso idiopático de síndrome opsoclonomioclono 16 , considerados pelos autores bastante similares aos observados na DCPS: com depleção grave das células de Purkinje em todo o neo e paleo-cerebelo. A associação de opsoclono, mioclono, ataxia e encefalopatia em adultos com câncer foi julgada por Anderson e colaboradores 17 consistente o suficiente para ser considerada uma síndrome paraneoplásica distinta. De acordo com os autores, esta poderia ser diferenciada da degeneração cerebelar paraneoplásica clássica devido à predominância de ataxia de tronco, presença de mioclonia, ausência de disartria grave, curso do tipo exacerbação-remissão e preservação das células de Purkinje no cerebelo.…”
