[Pathophysiology of cortical myoclonus].
نویسنده
چکیده
Myoclonus is one of the common movement disorders in clinical practice, and its differential diagnosis is important. Usually, myoclonus can be classified into cortical, subcortical, brain stem, spinal and peripheral, based on its pathogenesis. Especially, cortical myoclonus is closely associated with epilepsy (myoclonic epilepsy) and has been studied extensively so far. Here, we will review the pathogenesis of cortical myoclonus from the viewpoint of clinical neurophysiology.

Familial Cortical Myoclonic Tremor and Epilepsy, an Enigmatic Disorder: From Phenotypes to Pathophysiology and Genetics. A Systematic Review
Background Autosomal dominant familial cortical myoclonic tremor and epilepsy (FCMTE) is characterized by distal tremulous myoclonus, generalized seizures, and signs of cortical reflex myoclonus. FCMTE has been described in over 100 pedigrees worldwide, under several different names and acronyms. Pathological changes have been located in the cerebellum. This systematic review discusses the clin...

that these findings suggest an aberrant function in the cortical GABAergic inhibitory circuits. Sensory cortex hyperexcitability also appears to be important in the pathophysiology of myoclonus. Measuring cortical potentials in response to peripheral sensory stimulation is commonly performed to study the integrity of the central nervous system and the technique is commonly referred to as SEPs. ...
متن کاملCortical 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, ...

Benign adult familial myoclonus epilepsy (BAFME) is an adult onset, autosomal dominant disease characterized by cortical tremor and infrequent generalized seizures. BAFME was considered as non-progressive, but cortical tremor worsened in some of the aged patients. We investigated the disease progression of BAFME. Cortical tremor significantly worsened and amplitudes of giant somatosensory evoke...
متن کاملLance–Adams syndrome associated with cerebellar pathology
Lance-Adams syndrome (LAS) is an uncommon neurological disorder characterized by the development of chronic post-hypoxic myoclonus. There are relatively few cases described following successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation. We report a patient who developed LAS 3 months after successful resuscitation. Cerebral imaging studies indicate that brain pathology in LAS patients is not uniform, sugges...
