Opsoclonus-myoclonus-ataxia (OMA) secondary to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection has only been described in three pediatric patients. Previous reports suggested that evidence for a recent EBV infection in the absence of an occult neoplasm would predict a favorable prognosis for OMA as well as no tumor development. We present the case of a 20-month-old child with OMA associated with a microbiologically documented acute EBV infection and an occult thoracic ganglioneuroblastoma diagnosed 5 months later.
继发于爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒(EBV)感染的眼阵挛-肌阵挛-共济失调(OMA)仅在三名儿科患者中被描述过。先前的报告表明,在没有隐匿性肿瘤的情况下,近期EBV感染的证据预示着OMA预后良好且不会发生肿瘤。我们报告了一例20个月大的患有OMA的儿童病例,该病例伴有微生物学记录的急性EBV感染,并在5个月后诊断出隐匿性胸神经节神经母细胞瘤。
