Abstract

The dizziness associated with paraneoplastic neurologic syndrome is hard to diagnose clinically because the prevalence of disease is rare, and radiologic and serologic examination result may come out normal. Opsoclonus-myoclonus symdrome is a representative of classical paraneoplastic neurologic syndromes. In this paper, we report 2 cases of paraneoplastic neurologic syndromes with negative serologic auto-antibody test and no brain lesion on MRI. Both cases were eventually diagnosed through PET. Patients with opsoclonus-myoclonus type nystagmus should be evaluated for paraneoplastic neurologic syndrome even if their radiologic and serologic findings are normal. Key words: Myoclonus ㆍ Nystagmus ㆍ Opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome ㆍ Paraneoplastic syndrome, neurologic
