ENCEPHALITIS WITH INVOLUNTARY MOVEMENTS

Nonketotic hyperglycemia with involuntary movements

Cortical activities associated with voluntary movements and involuntary movements.

Recent advance in non-invasive techniques including electrophysiology and functional neuroimaging has enabled investigation of control mechanism of voluntary movements and pathophysiology of involuntary movements in human. Epicortical recording with subdural electrodes in epilepsy patients complemented the findings obtained by the non-invasive techniques. Before self-initiated simple movement, ...

Polymyographic Studies of Some Involuntary Movements in Subacute Sclerosing Pan-encephalitis.

Subacute sclerosing pan-encephalitis is an insidious illness and is probably less rare than it appears from some reports (Lancet, 1963). Nearly 100 cases have been verified histologically in one laboratory alone (L. van Bogaert, personal communication, 1964), though probably the material was collected from many sources. The name of this condition (and its few variants) is derived directly from ...

Involuntary movements of pelvic stump

Although involuntary movements of stumps are less frequent than phantom sensation or other neurological sequelae of limb amputation, they represent a phenomenon that has been known for many years. The pathophysiology remains unknown, but it seems to be related to damage to the peripheral nervous system. Treatment is not standardized, but antimyoclonic drugs seem to be useful.

Involuntary rhythmic leg movements time-locked with the respiratory cycle.

Involuntary rhythmic leg movements in childhood is an uncommon condition, the generators of which remain unknown. We report on a male 3 years of age with distinct features providing important clues concerning the location of one of these generators. At the age of 7 months, the previously healthy young male started with low frequency, rhythmic, and continuous (both during wakefulness and sleep) ...
