Morvan Syndrome Following B-cell Lymphoma

Journal of Child Neurology, 2010
Morvan syndrome is a rare autoimmune disease named after the French physician Augustin Marie Morvan. It is characterized by multiple, irregular contractions of the long muscles, weakness, pruritus, hyperhidrosis, insomnia, and delirium.

Morvan's syndrome: Clinical, laboratory, and in vitro electrophysiological studies

Muscle and Nerve, 2004
AbstractMorvan's syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by neuromyotonia, hyperhidrosis, and central nervous system dysfunction. We report a patient with features of this syndrome, but who initially presented with breathing difficulties. Concentric needle electromyography showed an abundance of myokymic and neuromyotonic discharges.

Atypical case of Morvan’s syndrome

Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 2016
Morvan's syndrome is a rare neurological condition characterized by the combination of neuromyotonia, autonomic instability and encephalopathy, associated with auto-antibodies against voltage-gated potassium channels. We report a patient with an initial presentation suggestive of typical Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), who later developed clinical and ...
