ABSTRACT
A 2 year old boy presented with features of opsoclonus, myoclonus and ataxia. Routine investigations of blood, urine, x-ray chest, bone scan, EEG and MRI of brain, were normal. Urine for VMA was negative. A right suprarenal mass was detected at MRI of abdomen. The mass was resected completely and was found histologically to be of differentiating type of neuroblastoma. The child was treated initially with prednisolone for 6 weeks along with sodium valproate. He is still on sodium valproate for his neurological symptoms. His symptoms still persist though they have decreased in intensity.
