Dancing Eye syndrome
Background
Dancing Eye syndrome: Kinsbourne syndrome; Myoclonic Encephalopathy; Opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome
This is a very rare neurological condition which develops over days or a week or two. The features are unsteadiness (ataxia) jerky movements of the trunk and limbs (myoclonus), rapid involuntary eye movements in all directions (opsoclonus) and usually marked irritability with sleep disturbance. As with many other diseases, there is considerable variation in severity.
Most children develop the condition in the second or third year of life but rarely it may occur earlier or later in childhood.
