متن کاملThe Inter-rater Variability of Clinical Assessment in Post-anoxic Myoclonus
BACKGROUND Acute post-anoxic myoclonus (PAM) can be divided into an unfavorable (generalized/subcortical) and more favorable ((multi)focal/cortical) outcome group that could support prognostication in post-anoxic encephalopathy; however, the inter-rater variability of clinically assessing these PAM subtypes is unknown. METHODS We prospectively examined PAM patients using a standardized video ...

متن کاملReticular reflex myoclonus: a physiological type of human post-hypoxic myoclonus.
A patient with post-hypoxic myoclonus, sensitive to therapy with 5-hydroxytryptophan and clonazepam, was subjected to detailed electrophysiological investigation. Brief generalised jerks followed the critical stimulus of muscle stretch. The electroencephalogram showed generalised spikes that were associated with, but not time locked to, the myoclonus. The cranial nerve nuclei were activated up...
متن کاملPost-hypoxic Myoclonus: Current Concepts, Neurophysiology, and Treatment
BACKGROUND Myoclonus may occur after hypoxia. In 1963, Lance and Adams described persistent myoclonus with other features after hypoxia. However, myoclonus occurring immediately after hypoxia may demonstrate different syndromic features from classic Lance-Adams syndrome (LAS). The aim of this review is to provide up-to-date information about the spectrum of myoclonus occurring after hypoxia wit...
