Opsoclonus myoclonus ataxia syndrome (OMAS) is a rare neuroinflammatory disorder that is typically associated with paraneoplastic and postinfectious processes. Opsoclonus myoclonus ataxia syndrome has not been previously reported in association with tuberculous meningitis (TBM). This report presents a unique case in which TBM manifested as OMAS, highlighting the complex interplay between tuberculosis and autoimmune neurological conditions.

Introduction: Ischemic stroke in patients with a systemic tumor disease or cancer not in remission (active tumors) is less well understood. Some aspects of such paraneoplastic strokes remind on a generalized cerebrovascular disorder. We hypothesized that cerebrovascular regulation in active tumor patients with a stroke is different from other patients with stroke who have no active tumor disease.

This is an unusual case of voltage gated calcium channel (VGCC) antibodies leading to two distinct and chronologically separated neurologic syndromes without the presence of an underlying neoplasm. Lambert Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome (LEMS) presented five years prior to cerebellar ataxia. Both LEMS and cerebellar ataxia were responsive to treatment, but not the same therapy.

Refractory seizures are common in pediatric neurology; consideration of whether seizures are acutely symptomatic of an underlying disease process is critical. In this case, a previously healthy 7-year-old patient presented with intractable focal seizures in the setting of a viral prodrome and headache. This case highlights a comprehensive work up of new-onset refractory seizures in a patient with features of encephalitis and describes a diagnostic quandary that ultimately led to a rare unifying diagnosis.

The leucine-rich glioma-inactivated protein 1 (LGI1) antibody-related autoimmune encephalitis can occur alone or in the setting of a malignancy and manifest with faciobrachial dystonic seizures (FBDS), cognitive decline, hyponatremia, and neuropsychiatric disorders. The importance of differentiating this entity from acute delirium cannot be overemphasized. This review provides a detailed account of a 71-year-old man with previous diagnosis of lung cancer who presented with subacute onset behavioural changes, urinary retention, and FBDS.
