Startle Responses in Hereditary Hyperekplexia [PDF]
Patients with hereditary hyperekplexia have excessive startle responses that are accompanied by transient stiffness and also continuous stiffness in infancy. A point of mutation has been identified for the major form of hereditary hyperekplexia in the gene encoding the alpha 1 subunit of the glycine receptor.To measure startle reflexes and autonomic ...

Diagnostic Dilemma in an Infant With Sound-Triggered Motor Events: Reflex Epilepsy Versus Exaggerated Startle-A Case Report. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Auditory‐triggered motor events in infancy present a significant diagnostic challenge due to overlap between epileptic and non‐epileptic startle phenomena. We report the case of a term female infant with neonatal‐onset seizures and subsequent development of reproducible sound‐triggered jerky movements, raising diagnostic uncertainty between ...
