Dancing eyes-dancing feet syndrome, it sounds extremely unusual but that’s the point most people do not know what it is. It is also known as opsoclonus myoclonus syndrome which is a rare movement disorder characterized by associated ocular (eye), behavioral, sleep, and language disturbances. “The syndrome is characterized by the sudden onset of brief, repeated, shock-like spasms of muscles within the arms, legs or entire body, an impaired ability to control voluntary movement and involuntary, rapid movements in both horizontal and vertical directions.” In cases where there is a tumor present, treatment such as chemotherapy, surgery, or radiation may be required. Relaspses are common and may occur without warning. The causes of Dancing Eyes-Dancing Feet syndrome are viral infections, tumor in skull, cerebrospinal fluid or Hydrocephalus. Currently there are no clinically investigations available to diagnose this syndrome.
