• Opsoclonus myoclonus ataxia (OMA) syndrome or "dancing eye syndrome" is a rare paraneoplastic entity which may be associated with pediatric neuroblastic tumors with a grave prognosis. • 123I/131I MIBG imaging has a proven role for functional imaging in neuroblastoma or patients with OMA, but the role of 68Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT is not yet studied. • 68Ga-labelled DOTANOC PET/CT (SSTR) imaging, in our cohort, was able to positively identify neuroblastic tumors with high diagnostic accuracy when compared with histology.
