Autologous stem cell transplantation for refractory opsoclonus myoclonus ataxia syndrome.
Pediatric Blood & Cancer 2018 August
Opsoclonus, myoclonus, ataxia syndrome (OMA) is a severe neurologic disorder often associated with neuroblastoma. It is challenging to treat and can have long-term neurologic sequelae. Current recommended therapies include intravenous immunoglobulin, corticosteroids, rituximab, and chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide). We present two cases who were refractory to conventional therapy and underwent autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). One patient had complete resolution of symptoms following ASCT and the other patient had minimal change in symptoms with this therapy. These findings support consideration of ASCT as a therapeutic option for patients with refractory OMA after failure of known effective therapies.
