Abstract
A case of Opsoclonus Myoclonus Syndrome associated with birth asphyxia presented with antiseizure treatment started soon after birth and continued after discharge. The child presented at two years of age and had jerky movements in the limbs and eyes. The eye movements promptly responded to phenobarbital, and the limb movements appreciably diminished after adding clonazepam. The practice of continuing antiseizure treatment post-discharge in asphyxiated babies is questionable. No asphyxiated baby is reported in the literature to have OMS.
