Myoclonus
Involuntary shock-like contractions, irregular in rhythm and amplitude, followed by relaxation, of a muscle or a group of muscles. This condition may be a feature of some CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISEASES; (e.g., EPILEPSY, MYOCLONIC). Nocturnal myoclonus is the principal feature of the NOCTURNAL MYOCLONUS SYNDROME. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp102-3).
Epilepsies, Myoclonic
A clinically diverse group of epilepsy syndromes characterized either by myoclonic seizures or by myoclonus in association with other seizure types. Myoclonic epilepsy syndromes are divided into three subtypes based on etiology: familial, cryptogenic, and symptomatic (i.e., occurring secondary to known disease processes such as infections, hypoxic-ischemic injuries, trauma, etc.).
Myoclonic Epilepsies, Progressive
A heterogeneous group of primarily familial disorders characterized by myoclonic seizures, tonic-clonic seizures, ataxia, progressive intellectual deterioration, and neuronal degeneration. These include LAFORA DISEASE; MERRF SYNDROME; NEURONAL CEROID-LIPOFUSCINOSIS; sialidosis (see MUCOLIPIDOSES), and UNVERRICHT-LUNDBORG SYNDROME.
Lafora Disease
A form of stimulus sensitive myoclonic epilepsy inherited as an autosomal recessive condition. The most common presenting feature is a single seizure in the second decade of life. This is followed by progressive myoclonus, myoclonic seizures, tonic-clonic seizures, focal occipital seizures, intellectual decline, and severe motor and coordination impairments. Most affected individuals do not live past the age of 25 years. Concentric amyloid (Lafora) bodies are found in neurons, liver, skin, bone, and muscle (From Menkes, Textbook of Childhood Neurology, 5th ed, pp111-110)
Unverricht-Lundborg Syndrome
An autosomal recessive condition characterized by recurrent myoclonic and generalized seizures, ATAXIA, slowly progressive intellectual deterioration, dysarthria, and intention tremor. Myoclonic seizures are severe and continuous, and tend to be triggered by movement, stress, and sensory stimuli. The age of onset is between 8 and 13 years, and the condition is relatively frequent in the Baltic region, especially Finland. (From Menkes, Textbook of Child Neurology, 5th ed, pp109-110)
Cystatin B
An intracellular cystatin subtype that is found in a broad variety of cell types. It is a cytosolic enzyme inhibitor that protects the cell against the proteolytic action of lysosomal enzymes such as CATHEPSINS.
Clonazepam
An anticonvulsant used for several types of seizures, including myotonic or atonic seizures, photosensitive epilepsy, and absence seizures, although tolerance may develop. It is seldom effective in generalized tonic-clonic or partial seizures. The mechanism of action appears to involve the enhancement of GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID receptor responses.
Reflex, Abnormal
An abnormal response to a stimulus applied to the sensory components of the nervous system. This may take the form of increased, decreased, or absent reflexes.
Myoclonic Cerebellar Dyssynergia
A condition marked by progressive CEREBELLAR ATAXIA combined with MYOCLONUS usually presenting in the third decade of life or later. Additional clinical features may include generalized and focal SEIZURES, spasticity, and DYSKINESIAS. Autosomal recessive and autosomal dominant patterns of inheritance have been reported. Pathologically, the dentate nucleus and brachium conjunctivum of the CEREBELLUM are atrophic, with variable involvement of the spinal cord, cerebellar cortex, and basal ganglia. (From Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1991, Ch37, pp60-1)
Evoked Potentials, Somatosensory
The electric response evoked in the CEREBRAL CORTEX by stimulation along AFFERENT PATHWAYS from PERIPHERAL NERVES to CEREBRUM.
MERRF Syndrome
A mitochondrial encephalomyopathy characterized clinically by a mixed seizure disorder, myoclonus, progressive ataxia, spasticity, and a mild myopathy. Dysarthria, optic atrophy, growth retardation, deafness, and dementia may also occur. This condition tends to present in childhood and to be transmitted via maternal lineage. Muscle biopsies reveal ragged-red fibers and respiratory chain enzymatic defects. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p986)
Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases, Non-Receptor
A subcategory of protein tyrosine phosphatases that occur in the CYTOPLASM. Many of the proteins in this category play a role in intracellular signal transduction.
Lisuride
An ergot derivative that acts as an agonist at dopamine D2 receptors (DOPAMINE AGONISTS). It may also act as an antagonist at dopamine D1 receptors, and as an agonist at some serotonin receptors (SEROTONIN RECEPTOR AGONISTS).
Muscle Rigidity
Continuous involuntary sustained muscle contraction which is often a manifestation of BASAL GANGLIA DISEASES. When an affected muscle is passively stretched, the degree of resistance remains constant regardless of the rate at which the muscle is stretched. This feature helps to distinguish rigidity from MUSCLE SPASTICITY. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p73)
Electroencephalography
Recording of electric currents developed in the brain by means of electrodes applied to the scalp, to the surface of the brain, or placed within the substance of the brain.
Electromyography
Recording of the changes in electric potential of muscle by means of surface or needle electrodes.
Cerebellar Ataxia
Incoordination of voluntary movements that occur as a manifestation of CEREBELLAR DISEASES. Characteristic features include a tendency for limb movements to overshoot or undershoot a target (dysmetria), a tremor that occurs during attempted movements (intention TREMOR), impaired force and rhythm of diadochokinesis (rapidly alternating movements), and GAIT ATAXIA. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p90)
Ataxia
Impairment of the ability to perform smoothly coordinated voluntary movements. This condition may affect the limbs, trunk, eyes, pharynx, larynx, and other structures. Ataxia may result from impaired sensory or motor function. Sensory ataxia may result from posterior column injury or PERIPHERAL NERVE DISEASES. Motor ataxia may be associated with CEREBELLAR DISEASES; CEREBRAL CORTEX diseases; THALAMIC DISEASES; BASAL GANGLIA DISEASES; injury to the RED NUCLEUS; and other conditions.

Effect of riluzole on the neurological and neuropathological changes in an animal model of cardiac arrest-induced movement disorder. (1/194)

Posthypoxic myoclonus and seizures precipitate as secondary neurological consequences in ischemic/hypoxic insults of the central nervous system. Neuronal hyperexcitation may be due to excessive activation of glutamatergic neurotransmission, an effect that has been shown to follow ischemic/hypoxic events. Therefore, riluzole, an anticonvulsant that inhibits the release of glutamate by stabilizing the inactivated state of activated voltage-sensitive sodium channels, was tested for its antimyoclonic and neuroprotective properties in the cardiac arrest-induced animal model of posthypoxic myoclonus. Riluzole (4-12 mg/kg i.p.) dose-dependently attenuated the audiogenic seizures and action myoclonus seen in this animal model. Histological examination using Nissl staining and the novel Fluoro-Jade histochemistry in cardiac-arrested animals showed an extensive neuronal degeneration in the hippocampus and cerebellum. Riluzole treatment almost completely prevented the neuronal degeneration in these brain areas. The neuroprotective effect was more pronounced in hippocampal pyramidal neurons and cerebellar Purkinje cells. These effects were seen at therapeutically relevant doses of riluzole, and the animals tolerated the treatment well. These findings indicate that the pathogenesis of posthypoxic myoclonus and seizure may involve excessive activation of glutamate neurotransmission, and that riluzole may serve as an effective pharmacological agent with neuroprotective potential for the treatment of neurological conditions associated with cardiac arrest in humans.  (+info)

Coherent cortical and muscle discharge in cortical myoclonus. (2/194)

There is increasing evidence in man that the cortical drive to motor neurons is rhythmic. This oscillatory drive may be exaggerated in patients with cortical myoclonus. Spectral analysis of surface bipolar EEG and EMG activity was performed in eight such patients. Only three cases had evidence of giant cortical evoked potentials or a cortical correlate on back-averaging at the time of study. In six subjects, significant coherence between contralateral and vertex EEG and EMG was observed in ranges similar to that previously reported for normal subjects (15-30 and 30-60 Hz). Three out of these six subjects also had significant coherence at higher frequencies (up to 175 Hz). All eight patients had a correlate in the cumulant density estimate between EEG and contralateral EMG. EMG lagged EEG by about 14, 25 and 35 ms for the muscles of the forearm, hand and foot, respectively. These delays were estimated from the slope of the phase curves and the timing of the peaks in the cumulant density estimates, and are appropriate for conduction in fast pyramidal pathways. The results provide clear evidence of a cortical drive synchronizing muscle discharge over a broad range of frequencies in patients with cortical myoclonus. Fourier analysis is a promising technique in the diagnosis and investigation of such patients.  (+info)

Quantization of continuous arm movements in humans with brain injury. (3/194)

Segmentation of apparently continuous movement has been reported for over a century by human movement researchers, but the existence of primitive submovements has never been proved. In 20 patients recovering from a single cerebral vascular accident (stroke), we identified the apparent submovements that composed a continuous arm motion in an unloaded task. Kinematic analysis demonstrated a submovement speed profile that was invariant across patients with different brain lesions and provided experimental verification of the detailed shape of primitive submovements. The submovement shape was unaffected by its peak speed, and to test further the invariance of shape with speed, we analyzed movement behavior in a patient with myoclonus. This patient occasionally made involuntary shock-like arm movements, which occurred near the maximum capacity of the neuromuscular system, exhibited speed profiles that were comparable to those identified in stroke patients, and were also independent of speed.  (+info)

Association of a missense change in the D2 dopamine receptor with myoclonus dystonia. (4/194)

Hereditary autosomal dominant myoclonus dystonia (MD) is a movement disorder characterized by involuntary lightning jerks and dystonic movements and postures alleviated by alcohol. Although various large families with MD have been described, no positive linkage has been found to a chromosomal location. We report a family with eight members with MD. Linkage analysis identified a 23-centimorgan region on chromosome 11q23 that cosegregates with the disease state (maximum multipoint logarithm of odds score = 2.96 at D11S897). This region contains an excellent candidate gene for involvement in the etiology of MD, the D2 dopamine receptor (DRD2) gene. Neurotransmission mediated by DRD2 is known to have a key role in the control of movement and also has been implicated in reward and reinforcement mechanisms and psychiatric disorders. Sequencing of the coding region of DRD2 indicated that all affected and obligate carriers were heterozygous for a Val154Ile change in exon 3 of the protein, which is highly conserved across species. This change was found neither in other unaffected members of the pedigree nor in 250 control chromosomes. Our finding provides evidence for the involvement of DRD2 in a disorder of the central nervous system and should lead to further insight into the function of the dopaminergic system in dystonia and other movement and mood disorders.  (+info)

Palatal myoclonus in postinfectious opsoclonus myoclonus syndrome : a case report. (5/194)

An adult male presenting with acute onset opsoclonus, myoclonus and cerebellar ataxia is being reported. Patient had myoclonus involving limbs and palate. There are only a few reported cases associated with palatal myoclonus. Patient showed gradual spontaneous recovery. Possibility of underlying malignancy was excluded by detailed investigations.  (+info)

Hypertrophic olivary degeneration: metaanalysis of the temporal evolution of MR findings. (6/194)

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Hypertrophic olivary degeneration (HOD) is usually caused by a lesion in the triangle of Guillain and Mollaret and presents clinically as palatal tremor. Although the imaging features have been well described, the temporal course of hypertrophy and T2 signal increase in the inferior olivary nucleus (ION) has not been fully characterized. Our purpose was to evaluate the time course of MR imaging features of HOD caused by a lesion within the triangle of Guillain and Mollaret. METHODS: The temporal progression of HOD in 45 patients with symptomatic palatal tremor was obtained by extrapolation of combined MR imaging data from six patients treated at our institution and 39 patients reported in the literature. The MR examinations and reports were reviewed for presence of hyperintense signal in the ION on T2-weighted images, hypertrophy of the ION, and an inciting lesion in the triangle of Guillain and Mollaret. The interval between the MR examination and the inciting lesion was determined. RESULTS: Increased olivary signal on T2-weighted images first appeared 1 month after the inciting lesion and persisted for at least 3 to 4 years. Olivary hypertrophy initially developed 6 months after the acute event and resolved by 3 to 4 years. CONCLUSION: Visible changes on MR images in the ION in patients with a lesion in the triangle of Guillain and Mollaret correlate well with the described sequential histopathologic findings.  (+info)

Role of primary sensorimotor cortices in generating inhibitory motor response in humans. (7/194)

To clarify the mechanism by which inhibitory motor responses such as cortical negative myoclonus are generated in humans, three patients with medically intractable partial epilepsy (two with frontal lobe epilepsy and one with parietal lobe epilepsy) were studied by means of direct cortical stimulation with a single electric pulse through subdural electrodes. All underwent chronic long-term video/EEG monitoring, cortical mapping by 50 Hz electric cortical stimulation and recording of cortical somatosensory evoked potentials with chronically implanted subdural grid electrodes (3 mm in diameter and centre-to-centre distance of 1 cm) to map both epileptogenic and functional zones. After these clinical evaluations, cortical stimulation by single electric pulse (0.3 ms duration, 1 Hz) was carried out through pairs of subdural electrodes located at the primary sensorimotor area (MI-SI), pre-supplementary motor area (pre-SMA) and lateral negative motor area (lateral NMA), while surface EMG was recorded from the muscles of the contralateral hand. The results showed that (i) in all subjects, single pulse stimulation of MI-SI elicited a motor evoked potential (MEP) followed by a silent period (SP) in the contralateral distal hand muscles, the latter lasting 300 ms after the stimulus. The duration of SP was proportional to the size of the preceding MEP. In one subject, SP without any preceding MEP was elicited, and, in another subject, there was a short SP immediately before MEP in the contralateral thenar muscle. (ii) Following the stimulation of either pre-SMA or lateral NMA, no SP was observed. It is concluded that the inhibitory mechanism within the MI-SI, but probably not in the non-primary motor areas, either closely linked to or completely independent of excitation, most likely plays an important role in eliciting brief negative motor phenomena such as cortical negative myoclonus or SP.  (+info)

Palatal myoclonus: report of two cases. (8/194)

We describe two cases of palatal myoclonus (PM), one essential and another secondary to a stroke. Case 1: a 64 years old female who developed clicking sounds in both ears after a stroke and three years later on noticed a progressive involuntary movement of the throat associated with rhythmic contractions of the soft palate, muscles of tongue and throat. MRI showed an ischemic area in brainstem. The patient had a partial response to the use of sumatriptan 6 mg subcutaneously. Case 2: a 66 years old female who began with ear clicking at left ear that worsed slowly associated with tinnitus and arrhythmic movements of soft palate and an audible click at left ear. Brain MRI was normal; audiometry showed bilateral neurosensory loss. She was prescribed clonazepan 1 mg daily with complete recovery. Primary and secondary palatal myoclonus share the same clinical features but probably have different pathophysiological underlying mechanisms.  (+info)

Myoclonus | Clinical GateMyoclonus | Clinical Gate
The distribution of muscles involved may suggest that it arises as a result of a lesion of a peripheral nerve, part of a plexus, a spinal root or a restricted number of segments of the spinal cord (segmental myoclonus). Myoclonic muscle jerks affecting axial muscles (neck, shoulders, trunk, and hips) may arise in the brainstem as an exaggerated startle response or brainstem reticular myoclonus, or in the spinal cord as propriospinal myoclonus. In brainstem myoclonus, there is no preceding cortical discharge. Cranial nerve muscles are usually activated from the XI nucleus up the brainstem; limb and axial muscles are activated in descending order. In propriospinal myoclonus, the first muscles activated are usually in the thoracic cord, with slow upward and downward spread. Cortical myoclonus is indicated when somatosensory evoked potentials produced by peripheral nerve stimulation are pathologically enlarged, and a cortical correlate can be back-averaged in the ongoing EEG by triggering from the ...

Myoclonus disease: Malacards - Research Articles, Drugs, Genes, Clinical TrialsMyoclonus disease: Malacards - Research Articles, Drugs, Genes, Clinical Trials
NINDS : 51 Myoclonus refers to a sudden, involuntary jerking of a muscle or group of muscles. In its simplest form, myoclonus consists of a muscle twitch followed by relaxation. A hiccup is an example of this type of myoclonus. Other familiar examples of myoclonus are the jerks or sleep starts that some people experience while drifting off to sleep. These simple forms of myoclonus occur in normal, healthy persons and cause no difficulties. When more widespread, myoclonus may involve persistent, shock-like contractions in a group of muscles. Myoclonic jerking may develop in people with multiple sclerosis, Parkinsons disease, Alzheimers disease, or Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Myoclonic jerks commonly occur in persons with epilepsy, a disorder in which the electrical activity in the brain becomes disordered and leads to seizures. Myoclonus may develop in response to infection, head or spinal cord injury, stroke, brain tumors, kidney or liver failure, lipid storage disease, chemical or drug ...

Missense mutations in the SGCE gene encoding ε-sarcoglycan account for approximately 15% of SGCE-positive cases of myoclonus-dystonia syndrome (MDS) in humans. In this study, we show that while the majority of MDS-associated missense mutants modeled with a murine ε-sarcoglycan cDNA are substrates for endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation, one mutant, M68T (analogous to human c.275T,C, p.M92T), located in the Ig-like domain of ε-sarcoglycan, results in a gain-of-glycosylation mutation producing a protein that is targeted to the plasma membrane, albeit at reduced levels compared to wild-type ε-sarcoglycan. Removal of the ectopic N-linked glycan failed to restore efficient plasma membrane targeting of M68T demonstrating that the substitution rather than the glycan was responsible for the trafficking defect of this mutant. M68T also colocalized with CD63-positive vesicles in the endosomal-lysosomal system and was found to be more susceptible to lysosomal proteolysis than wild-type ...

INTRODUCTION DYT11 is an autosomal dominant inherited movement disorder characterized by myoclonus and dystonia. CLINICAL PRESENTATION We present a case with atypical symptoms and with episodes of ataxia and myoclonus preceded by infections. Atypical presentation of opsoclonus myoclonus syndrome was suspected and treatment with bolus steroids and immunoglobulin were initiated with some response over 28 months. A re-evaluation gave suspicion of a dyskinetic disorder and whole exome-sequencing was performed but no causal variant was identified. OUTCOME A specific analysis of the SGCE gene was subsequently initiated, which revealed a pathogenic aberration confirming the diagnosis of DYT11. CONCLUSION A clinical DYT11 diagnosis can be difficult to establish in early childhood without a known family history.

Psychiatric disorders, myoclonus dystonia and SGCE: an international study -ORCAPsychiatric disorders, myoclonus dystonia and SGCE: an international study -ORCA
OBJECTIVE: Myoclonus-dystonia (M-D) is a hyperkinetic movement disorder, typically alcohol-responsive upper body myoclonus and dystonia. The majority of autosomal dominant familial cases are caused by epsilon-sarcoglycan gene (SGCE) mutations. Previous publications have observed increased rates of psychiatric disorders amongst SGCE mutation-positive populations. We analyzed the psychiatric data from four international centers, forming the largest cohort to date, to further determine the extent and type of psychiatric disorders in M-D. METHODS: Psychiatric data from SGCE mutation-positive M-D cohorts, collected by movement disorder specialists in the Netherlands, United Kingdom, United States, and Germany, were analyzed. These data were collected using standardized, systematic questionnaires allowing classification of symptoms according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fourth edition (DSM-IV) criteria. Based on motor findings and SGCE mutation analysis, participants were ...

Primary myoclonus-dystonia is a childhood-onset autosomal-dominant movement disorder with myoclonic jerks and dystonia. The authors report 9 children (4 boys, 5 girls) with myoclonus-dystonia from 8 families seen over a 4-year period at Cleveland Clinic. The mean age of onset of symptoms was 2.8 years, but the diagnosis was made at a mean of 7.3 years. Myoclonus was the presenting symptom in 8 children. A known pathogenic mutation in the ε-sarcoglycan gene (SGCE) was identified in 4 of the 9 children, and 2 other children had novel mutations in the same gene.

We report two patients who presented at a young age with myoclonus (Figure 1B) combined with dystonia in the context of 22q11.2DS. In the absence of electrophysiological analysis, the multiple rest and action jerks could have been mistaken for tremor. Electrophysiological findings suggested a subcortical origin of the myoclonus: muscle burst durations above 70 ms,5 absence of either C-reflex or premyoclonic potential on jerk-locked EEG-EMG back averaging. The presence of dysmorphic facial features and learning difficulties in the first patient motivated micro-array analysis. The second patient presented to the movement clinic with new onset myoclonus and mild dystonic posturing on a background of 22q11.2DS. Development was normal, but discrete facial features were also present. These two observations expand the spectrum of movement disorders in 22q11.2DS..

In dystonia, the involuntary abnormal movements cause a driving handicap and a change of the quality of life. A particular shape of dystonia, the Myoclonus Dystonia, is characterized by the ascendancy of myoclonias (abrupt and brief movements) associated with the abnormal dystonia. Myoclonus is an additional source of handicap in the movements of the everyday life, because they distort the precision of movements. Response to oral medications may be incomplete and the tolerance poor, such that deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery is useful for the major forms but it is also an invasive therapeutics which the operating risk is not totally estimated in the absence of controlled study. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate other pharmacological therapeutic tracks which present a good ratio profit / risk.. Zonisamide is usually used in France in the epilepsys treatment. It showed its efficiency in the progressive myoclonus epilepsy, not only on the seizure but also on the myoclonia. Therefore, ...

BACKGROUND: Myoclonus dystonia syndrome (MDS) is a hyperkinetic movement disorder caused, in a proportion of cases, by mutations of the maternally imprinted epsilon-sarcoglycan gene (SGCE). SGCE mutation rates vary between cohorts, suggesting genetic heterogeneity. E- and ζ-sarcoglycan are both expressed in brain tissue. In this study we tested whether zeta-sarcoglycan gene (SGCZ) mutations also contribute to this disorder. METHODS: Patients with clinically suspected MDS and no SGCE mutation were recruited and classified, according to previously published criteria, as to their likelihood of the movement disorder. All SGCZ exons and intron/exon boundaries were screened by direct sequencing. RESULTS: Fifty-four SGCE mutation-negative patients were recruited from the UK and the Netherlands. Subdivided according to the likelihood of the movement disorder resulted in 17 definite, 16 probable and 21 possible cases. No pathogenic SGCZ mutations were identified. CONCLUSIONS: SGCZ mutations are ...

Myoclonus DystoniaMyoclonus Dystonia
Myoclonus is a movement dystonia characterised by sudden, brief, shock-like movements. Individuals with myoclonus dystonia exhibit symptoms of dystonia plus very prominent myoclonic movements. The distribution of these rapid jerks is variable but most frequently affects the central part of the body, including the shoulders, arms, neck, and trunk. Rarely are the face and legs affected. (The symptom distribution of myoclonus dystonia is different from typical early onset generalised dystonia as it more often affects the upper body whereas typical early-onset dystonia usually affects the legs). Symptoms may be impacted by the consumption of alcohol. Non-movement related features may be present including depression, anxiety, obsessive -compulsive disorder, personality disorders, and panic attacks. The age of onset is in the first or second decade of life, although some cases of adult-onset have been reported. Most frequently, the disorder appears to be slowly progressive for a few years after ...

Ataxia, dystonia and myoclonus in adult patients with Niemann-Pick type C - Lund UniversityAtaxia, dystonia and myoclonus in adult patients with Niemann-Pick type C - Lund University
Background: Niemann-Pick type C (NP-C) is a rare autosomal recessive progressive neurodegenerative disorder caused by mutations in the NP-C 1 or 2 gene. Besides visceral symptoms, presentation in adolescent and adult onset variants is often with neurological symptoms. The most frequently reported presenting symptoms of NP-C in adulthood are psychiatric symptoms (38 %), cognitive decline (23 %) and ataxia (20 %). Myoclonus can be present, but its value in early diagnosis and the evolving clinical phenotype in NP-C is unclear. In this paper we present eight Dutch cases of NP-C of whom five with myoclonus. Methods: Eight patients with genetically confirmed NP-C were recruited from two Dutch University Medical Centers. A structured interview and neuropsychological tests (for working and verbal memory, attention and emotion recognition) were performed. Movement disorders were assessed using a standardized video protocol. Quality of life was evaluated by questionnaires (Rand-36, SIP-68, HAQ). In four ...

Lafora disease (LD) is an autosomal recessive late onset, progressive myoclonic epilepsy with a high prevalence in the miniature Wirehaired Dachshund. The disease is due to a mutation in the Epm2b gene which results in intracellular accumulation of abnormal glycogen (Lafora bodies)... A characteristic feature of the disease is spontaneous and reflex myoclonus; however clinical signs and disease progression are not well described... Average age of onset of clinical signs was 6.94 years (3.5-12). The most common initial presenting sign was reflex and spontaneous myoclonus (77.8%). Other presenting signs included hypnic myoclonus (51.9%) and generalized seizures (40.7%). Less common presenting signs include focal seizures, jaw smacking, fly catching, panic attacks, impaired vision, aggression and urinary incontinence. All these clinical signs may appear, and then increase in frequency and intensity over time. The myoclonus in particular becomes more severe and more refractory to treatment. ...

In this translational research, immunological mechanisms that underlie the assault of the immune system on the brain in paraneoplastic opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome (OMS) are under evaluation. To test our principal hypothesis that there is an imbalance of pro-inflammatory (Th1) and anti-inflammatory (Th2) cytokines in OMS, a comprehensive cytokine panel will be measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and multiplexed fluorescent bead-based immunoassay detection (LUMINEX 100 Lab MAP system)in blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of 400 children. To test the second hypothesis that cytokines could serve as biomarkers of disease activity in OMS, cytokine concentrations will be correlated with clinical variables, such as disease severity, OMS duration, prior relapses, and remissions, as well as immunological variables, such as lymphocyte subset analysis. The cytokine biomarker profile could aid decision making for early intervention by identifying children at high risk for relapse and ...

Diagnosis of dystonia induced with initiation of movement was suggested that later on proven genetically to be pathogenic mutation of sarcoglycan gene. Carbamazepine therapy was initiated with dramatic response. Response was maintained at 4 years follow up. Our patient and the other previously reported cases might highlight the response of SGCE mutations to carbamazepine therapy.

Glycine receptor β-subunit gene mutation in spastic mouse associated with LINE-1 element insertion | Nature GeneticsGlycine receptor β-subunit gene mutation in spastic mouse associated with LINE-1 element insertion | Nature Genetics
Congenital myoclonus is a widespread neurologic disorder characterized by hyperexcitability, muscular spasticity and myoclonus associated with marked reduction in neural glycine binding sites. The recessive mouse mutation spastic (spa) is a prototype of inherited myoclonus. Here we show that defects in the gene encoding the β-subunit of the glycine receptor (Glrb) underlie spa: Glrb maps to the same region of mouse chromosome 3 as spa, and Glrb mRNA is markedly reduced throughout brains of spa mice, most likely as a result of an insertional mutation of a 7.1 kilobase LINE-1 element within intron 6 of Glrb. These results provide evidence that Glrb is necessary for postsynaptic expression of glycine receptor complexes, and suggest Glrb as a candidate gene for inherited myoclonus in other species.

From a phenomenological perspective, differential can include:. Spasms, as seen in multiple sclerosis (tonic spasms), auto-immune encephalitis, stiff person syndrome and tetanus may also merit consideration.. Polyminimyoclonus was originally described in the setting of spinal muscular atrophy, and that movements associated with a clinical impression of polyminimyoclonus may have a number of causes, of which myoclonus is only one.. As noted elsewhere in this section, cortical tremor is a manifestation of underlying myoclonus.. The classification of myoclonus is variable and difficult, predominantly because of the very large number of disease processes that affect cerebral hemispheric function and that can bring about myoclonus. A physiological approach has the benefit of being more manageable, as compared to a list of aetiologies, which tends to be lengthy. However, it should be pointed out that the utility of classifications is quite limited, and frequently does not contribute significantly to ...

CERI: Sidebar on Piracetam, Sicle Cell Anemia and Angelman Syndrome
Angelman syndrome is a genetic condition characterized by a deletion of part of maternal chromosome 15 (15q11-13), which is associated with severe mental retardation, ataxic (uncoordinated) gait, tremulousness, and jerky movements. Although not yet fully studied, the critical region of the 15th chromosome contains several genes that code for GABA-A receptor subunits. The GABA-A receptor is the most common GABA receptor in the brain. GABA-A receptors regulate the flow of chloride ions (Cl-) across neuron membranes, which decreases neuron excitability. In Angelman syndrome, the lack of adequate GABA-A influence increases neuronal (CNS) excitability and results in myoclonic (muscle twitching) activity, which was reported to be significantly reduced in 5 patients by treatment with piracetam [Guerrini et al., 1966]..

Abnormalities of Involuntary Movement - WSAVA2007 - VINAbnormalities of Involuntary Movement - WSAVA2007 - VIN
Involuntary movement disorders may occur at rest or during activity. Tremor is an involuntary, rhythmic, oscillatory movement of all or part of the body. It results from the alternate or synchronous contraction of reciprocally innervated, antagonistic muscles. The equal to and fro movements are characteristic, however, can be difficult to appreciate when the tremor is high frequency and low amplitude (fine). True tremor ceases with sleep. Tremor can be localized to one body area or be generalized (whole body). Localized tremor usually involves the head or pelvic limbs. Myoclonus is a shock like contraction of a muscle or muscles. This most often occurs in a thoracic limb, however, a pelvic limb or the facial muscles may also be involved. Myoclonus in dogs is usually the result of distemper infection which establishes a pacemaker-like depolarization of local motor neurons. Other apparently involuntary movements are less well classified in animals.. Seizures. Seizures are one the two most common ...

Psychology of Medicine: Opsoclonus myoclonus syndromePsychology of Medicine: Opsoclonus myoclonus syndrome
Currently there are no clinically established laboratory investigations available to predict prognosis or therapeutic response.. Tumors in children who develop OMA tend to be more mature, showing favorable histology and absence of n-myc oncogene amplification than similar tumors in children without symptoms of OMA. Involvement of local lymph nodes is common, but these children rarely have distant metastases and their prognosis, in terms of direct morbidity and mortality effects from the tumor, is excellent. The three-year survival rate for children with non-metastatic neuroblastoma and OMA was 100% according to Childrenâ s Cancer Group data (gathered from 675 patients diagnosed between 1980 to 1994); three-year survival in comparable patients with OMA was 77%. Although the symptoms of OMA are typically steroid-responsive and recovery from acute symptoms of OMA can be quite good, children often suffer lifelong neurologic sequelae that impair motor, cognitive, language, and behavioral ...

Chlorambucil-induced myoclonus in a cat
Chlorambucil is a very popular drug in feline medicine, especially used in the treatment of autoimmune diseases like pemphigus foliaceus or in neoplastic conditions like lymphoma. Neurotoxicity as a common side effect like in human medicine has never been described - until this cat was treated with chlorambucil.

Yes, that is an issue, Sleepdancer. My PLMs were extremely high - I cannot remember if the neuro at the time said PLMD or not, though. But, I think of them as PLMS because I have read the works by Lee, Buchfuhrer, Hening, et. al that use that term instead. My grandmother had them - her doc called them nocturnal myoclonus up until she died in 2005. My guess is that few docs agree because it isnt well studied. But, just a guess! I also get the feeling that some of the sleep disorder organizations see it differently than the neuro-focused orgs. I went to a sleep doc once who was part of one of the sleep disorders orgs - she had never heard of Buchfuhrer, Hening, Silber, or Earley. To us, they are minor gods ...

MOTOR EXAMINATION. The motor examination assesses the patients muscle strength, tone, and shape. Muscles could be abnormally larger than expected (hyper-trophy) or small due to tissues destruction (atrophy). It is important to assess if there is evidence of twitching or abnormal movements. Involuntary movements due to tics or myoclonus can be observed. Additionally, movements can be abnormal during maintained posture in neurological disorders such as Parkinsons disease. Muscle tone is usually tested by applying resistance to passive motion of a relaxed limb. Power is assessed for movements at each joint. Decreases or increases in muscle tone can help the examiner localize the affected area.. REFLEXES. The patients reflexes are tested by using a special instrument that looks like a little hammer. The clinician will tap the rubber triangular shaped end in several different areas in the arms, knee, and Achilles heal area. The clinician will ask the patient to relax and gently tap the area.

Hypnic jerk - WikipediaHypnic jerk - Wikipedia
According to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine there is a wide range of potential causes, including anxiety, caffeine, stress and strenuous activities in the evening. However, most hypnic jerks occur essentially at random in healthy people.[5]. Another hypothesis is evolutionary, stretching back to our primate ancestors. A study at the University of Colorado has suggested that a hypnic jerk could be an archaic reflex to the brains misinterpretation of muscle relaxation with the onset of sleep as a signal that a sleeping primate is falling out of a tree. The reflex may also have had selective value by having the sleeper readjust or review his or her sleeping position in a nest or on a branch in order to assure that a fall did not occur.[6]. During an epilepsy and intensive care study, the lack of a preceding spike discharge measured on an epilepsy monitoring unit, along with the presence only at sleep onset, helped differentiate hypnic jerks from epileptic myoclonus.[7]. According to a ...

Acts of kindness: November 2013
I have a debilitating condition called Functional Neurological Disorder. This causes a huge variety of symptoms including, severe weakness or paralysis, gait abnormalities and mobility problems. I also have myoclonic jerks (uncontrollable tremors and twitches). In many it also causes seizures. Every day I experience chronic fatugue and disturbed sleep. In addition, I regularly experience dizziness, balance issues, sensory disturbances and huge amounts of pain every day. This is a rare disease and is very poorly understood and researched. I do what I can to raise awareness, raise funds and cheer other sufferers up. I regularly send care packages to other sufferers. Many of us are rarely able to get out so parcels and cards are a great way to show others in need that they are loved and cared for ...

AboutBFS.com • View topic - Shaking/trembling sensation
Thanks for the replies. I get the shaking feeling primarily when Im sitting at the computer and when Im in bed. It can be in my waste/hip area and up my back and shoulders. I do not feel this slight shaking is BFS, though I do get twitches in various places from time to time. I also get several mild myoclonic jerks when Im in bed at night as well. If Im laying on my side, then that same side will often mildly jolt and this can happen every few minutes or so. Between the mild jolts and shaking, sleep has been very hard to come by. I cant help but wonder if my thyroid may be the problem. I run a low body temp, especially lately. This morning it was only 94.5 and hasnt been getting above 97.5 during the day, combined with some neck pain. I dont have a lot of the other hypothyroid symptoms, but I do have the insomnia, weight gain & some dry skin. Unfortunately, the Dr. did do the typical thyroid panel about 3 wks. ago and it came back normal. Ive heard of Wilsons Sydrome where people run ...

THE BRAIN FROM TOP TO BOTTOMTHE BRAIN FROM TOP TO BOTTOM
This theory of the cortical origin of dreams raises several issues. One in particular is the difficulty of reconciling the very fleeting nature of our memories of our dreams with the very fundamental role that this theory implies dreams play in our psychic equilibrium. The strange and fragmentary nature of our dreams as we recollect them is central to another daring theory of their origin: we may dream not when we are sleeping, but only as we are awakening. This theory, developed by French neuroscientist Jean-Pol Tassin, is based on the paradox that consciousness vanishes during sleep, yet dreams cannot exist unless we are conscious of them. According to Tassin and his collaborators, during REM sleep, the brain is active, but its activity allows neither consciousness nor dreams.. There is a neurobiological correlate that supports this interpretation: some noradrenergic and serotonergic neuromodulatory neurons that are necessary for neural information to be stored in the brain for more than a few ...

Walking in the Air - WikipediaWalking in the Air - Wikipedia
Walking in the Air is a song written by Howard Blake for the 1982 animated film of Raymond Briggs 1978 childrens book The Snowman. The song forms the centrepiece of The Snowman, which has become a seasonal favorite on British and Finnish television. The story relates the fleeting adventures of a young boy and a snowman who has come to life. In the second part of the story, the boy and the snowman fly to the North Pole. Walking in the Air is the theme for the journey. They attend a party of snowmen, at which the boy seems to be the only human until they meet Father Christmas with his reindeer, and the boy is given a scarf with a snowman pattern. In the film, the song was performed by St Pauls Cathedral choirboy Peter Auty, and reissued in 1985 (on Stiff Records) and 1987. In 1985, an altered version was recorded for use in a TV advertising campaign for Toys R Us. As Autys voice had then broken, Blake recommended the Welsh chorister Aled Jones, whose recording reached number five in the ...

Parkinson's Disease1
  • In addition, there are other conditions related to the central nervous system that can also cause secondary myoclonus, such as the case of stroke, brain tumor, Huntington's disease, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, corticobasal degeneration and frontotemporal dementia. (salutio.org)
Secondary1
  • The secondary outcome of discharge with functionally favorable outcomes occurred in 17% of the study population, including all of the pattern 2 myoclonus survivors. (medscape.com)
Disorder1
  • In some adults, myoclonus improves with alcohol consumption, which can lead to affected individuals self-medicating and developing alcohol use disorder . (medlineplus.gov)
Brain4
  • This procedure records the electrical activity of your brain and may help determine where in your brain the myoclonus originates. (sparrow.org)
  • An MRI scan may be used to check for structural problems or tumors inside your brain or spinal cord, which may cause your myoclonus symptoms. (sparrow.org)
  • this helps record the electrical activity of your brain and helps in determining the origin of myoclonus. (gleneaglesglobalhospitals.com)
  • Your doctor suggests MRI scan for detecting the involved structural problems or tumors inside the brain or spinal cord, which can be the cause for myoclonus. (gleneaglesglobalhospitals.com)
Contractions3
  • Indica strains work well when you want to relieve twitching and contractions from myoclonus at night so that you can ease the muscle twitching and fall asleep faster. (marijuanadoctors.com)
  • THC can be beneficial when you need a burst of energy and creativity while keeping your myoclonus contractions under control. (marijuanadoctors.com)
  • When your muscle or muscles produce shock-like contractions, then the condition is termed as myoclonus. (gleneaglesglobalhospitals.com)
Multifocal1
  • Electroencephalography (EEG) can distinguish phenotypes of postanoxic multifocal myoclonus (PAMM), a condition that may develop soon after cardiac arrest - but only one EEG pattern is associated with "functionally favorable" survival, according to new research. (medscape.com)
Spinal cord1
  • We report two cases that may represent the isolated motor component of RLS, misdiagnosed as myoclonus by referring neurologists, in the setting of spinal cord pathology. (tremorjournal.org)
Physiological1
  • In general, myoclonus is physiological and is not a cause for concern. (salutio.org)
Symptom1
  • While not a disease on its own, myoclonus is a symptom that can cause limitations on normal activities. (marijuanadoctors.com)

  • The serotonin hypothesis of myoclonus from the perspective of neuronal rhythmicity. (medscape.com)
Clinical features1
  • Clinical features may also include proximal myoclonus and mild progression with aging. (nih.gov)
Frequent1
  • It is almost always not a cause for alarm but can certainly be frustrating - especially if the myoclonus is an ongoing and frequent situation. (broadviewhealthcentre.com)
Muscles4
  • Myoclonus - A condition of abnormal contraction of muscles or portions of muscles. (en-academic.com)
  • myoclonus - [ˌmʌɪə(ʊ) kləʊnəs] noun Medicine spasmodic jerky contraction of groups of muscles. (en-academic.com)
  • Myoclonus may occur when abnormal electrical impulse generated by the central nervous system affects a muscle or group of muscles. (gleneaglesglobalhospitals.com)
