Abstract
Paraneoplastic neurologic complications from gynecologic tumors are rare, but can be a major cause of morbidity and mortality. In most cases, the neurologic symptoms precede the diagnosis of malignancy, prompting an evaluation that identifies the tumor. Paraneoplastic opsoclonus–myoclonus syndrome, characterized by saccadic eye movements caused by lesions in the brain stem, has in particular been linked to ovarian teratomas.
