Symptoms
Conjugate fast eye movements without intersaccadic [quick rotation of the eyes] intervals Opsoclonus (rapid, involuntary, multifactorial (horizontal and vertical unpredictable).


Diagnosis
Since OMS is so infrequent and happens at a regular age of 19 months (6 to 36 months), an analysis can be slow. Some cases have been misdiagnosed as needing been caused by a virus. Some cases have been misdiagnosed as having been produced by a virus. After an analysis of OMS is made, a related neuroblastoma is exposed in half of cases, with middle delay of 3 months.

There is no known conclusive cure for OMS. Though, numerous drugs have established to be real in its cure.
