Abstract
Opsoclonus transiently occurred in the acute stage of combined parathion and methyl-parathion poisoning. Despite persistent cholinesterase inhibition this symptom subsided spontaneously. This observation provides strong evidence for cholinergic pathways being reversibly involved in isolated opsoclonus.
