This definition excludes the muscular twitches or fasciculation due to lesions of the lower motor neurons. 1 Myoclonus has been observed in patients with various neurological conditions including ep...
متن کاملEEG–EMG Information Flow in Movement-Activated Myoclonus in Patients with Progressive Myoclonic Epilepsies
We aimed this study at verifying the appropriateness of generalized partial directed coherence (GPDC) in detecting EEG–EMG information flow and identifying the characteristics of myoclonus-related EEG changes in patients with progressive myoclonus epilepsy (PME). Our results indicate that GPDC analysis is able to detect the presence of a different pattern of connectivity between the EMG and sen...

The changes in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) suggested a viral infection. Clinical and electrophysiological findings indicated that the involuntary movements were arising at spinal level and were independent of suprasegmental influences. There are few previously ...
