Parainfectious Ocular Flutter and Truncal Ataxia in Association with Dengue Fever

J Pediatr Neurosci. 2017 Jan-Mar;12(1):91-92. doi: 10.4103/jpn.JPN_4_16.

Abstract

Ocular flutter is an eye movement disorder characterized by purely horizontal rapid saccadic oscillations lasting for a few minutes which stops spontaneously. Postinfectious ocular flutter and truncal ataxia are a rare entity. There are reported cases of opsoclonus myoclonus ataxia in association with dengue virus infection. However, there are no reported cases of parainfectious ocular flutter and truncal ataxia in association with dengue virus infection. Hereby, we report a child with dengue fever who had ocular flutter and truncal ataxia.
