A member asked:
Is there a link between neuroblastoma and infant seizures? my son was recently diagnosed with both?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Seizures+NB: There is not much data about the connection between neuroblastoma (nb) and seizures in the medical literature. There have been some case reports of children presenting with nb-associated opsoclonus-myoclonus (eye movements and muscle jerks) and seizures, thought to be due to antibodies generated by the body against nb that also affect other neurons in the body.
