A 65-year-old woman had the opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome associated with carcinoma of the breast; her myoclonia and opsoclonus did not respond to intravenous diazepam or phenytoin. Treatment with intravenous chlormethiazole resulted in rapid control of her myoclonic attacks, followed by slower but complete resolution of the opsoclonus. Following control of the acute symptoms the patient was transferred to an oral chlormethiazole maintenance dose which was further reduced and subsequently discontinued after 5 months, when the patient's overall clinical status had improved. A 53-year-old man with opsoclonia, myoclonia, ataxia and encephalopathy, not associated with neoplasia, was given immunosuppressor drugs to establish basal control, and oral chlormethiazole for symptomatic treatment. Almost immediately after the initial dose of chlormethiazole the patient became more orientated; he was sedated and the agitation and myoclonic fits were brought under control quite quickly. The opsoclonus responded progressively and was completely resolved after a few days. The initial oral dose of chlormethiazole was gradually reduced and was discontinued after 5\u20136 months. Chlormethiazole was well tolerated; it may have an important role in the management of the rare opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/030006059402200107","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,16]],"date-time":"2017-01-16T02:08:09Z","timestamp":1484532489000},"page":"55-62","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Chlormethiazole in the Management of the Opsoclonus-Myoclonus Syndrome"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"JJ","family":"Vilchez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, University Hospital \u201cLa Fe\u201d, 46009 Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A","family":"Lago","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, University Hospital \u201cLa Fe\u201d, 46009 Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"JA","family":"Burguera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, University Hospital \u201cLa Fe\u201d, 46009 Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"R","family":"Yaya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, University Hospital \u201cLa Fe\u201d, 46009 Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"V","family":"Casanova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, University Hospital \u201cLa Fe\u201d, 46009 Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1994,1,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-030006059402200107","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1212\/WNL.18.11.1041"},{"key":"bibr2-030006059402200107","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM196808292790907"},{"key":"bibr3-030006059402200107","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archneur.1986.00520110055016"},{"key":"bibr4-030006059402200107","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005792-198803000-00003"},{"key":"bibr5-030006059402200107","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archneur.1986.00520040088029"},{"key":"bibr6-030006059402200107","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archopht.1972.01000030587001"},{"key":"bibr7-030006059402200107","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archneur.1981.00510120080015"},{"key":"bibr8-030006059402200107","first-page":"260","volume":"6","author":"Lago A","year":"1989","journal-title":"Ann Med Intern (Madrid)"},{"key":"bibr9-030006059402200107","volume-title":"WHO Expert Committee on Drug Dependence.
