OCULOPALATAL MYOCLONUS

Brain, 1986
Five cases of oculopalatal myoclonus (OPM) were studied. Three exhibited the lateral form, characterized by jerky nystagmoid eye movements with simultaneous oblique and rotatory components, associated with lateralized palatal myoclonus, and 2 the midline form, characterized by vertical to-and-fro pendular eye movements with symmetric bilateral palatal ...

Myoclonus and epilepsy

2013
Epileptic myoclonus can be defined as an elementary electroclinical manifestation of epilepsy involving descending neurons, whose spatial (spread) or temporal (self-sustained repetition) amplification can trigger overt epileptic activity and can be classified as cortical (positive and negative), secondarily generalized, thalamo-cortical, and reticular.

Myoclonus and epilepsies

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 1997
The possible associations of myoclonic phenomenae, progressive or non-progressive encephalopathies and epileptic features are reviewed, with special emphasis on pediatric age. This leads to recognize the following five groups of conditions: (1) Myoclonus without encephalopathy and without epilepsy; (2) Encephalopathies with non-epileptic myoclonus; (3)

Febrile Myoclonus

Pediatric Emergency Care, 2007
Febrile myoclonus is a poorly understood and rarely reported phenomenon. We report a case with particular characteristics that continue to help define this benign disorder.

Myoclonus of the palate

British Journal of Plastic Surgery, 1963
Summary Attention was given to an unusual, but not extremely rare, condition of involuntary rhythmic contraction of the soft palate. The mechanism is explained as a brain stem lesion acting as a traumatic release of a physiological inhibition (seen in the piscine branchial apparatus), but normally suppressed in man.

Symptomatic myoclonus

Neurophysiologie Clinique/Clinical Neurophysiology, 2006
A huge number of neurological disorders are associated with myoclonus. This paper describes these disorders whose diagnosis partly relies on the presence of myoclonus. The diagnostic approach is related to certain clinical features of myoclonus, which, after their integration in the clinical context, help orientate towards diagnosis.

Spinal myoclonus

Neurology, 1977
The focal involuntary muscular contractions of spinal myoclonus have been associated with neoplastic, infectious, traumatic, and degenerative lesions of the spinal cord. Four patients are described here. In two, the myoclonus is associated with severe cervical spondylitis. One patient had herpes zoster.

Palatal myoclonus

The Turkish Journal of Ear Nose and Throat, 2014
Palatal myoclonus is an extremely rare disorder. Tinnitus is secondary to rhythmic involuntary movements of the soft palate. Clinical diagnosis is based on the confirmation of the soft palate movements synchronous with an audible clicking noise outside. In this article, we report a 38-year-old female case with a 10 year-history of continuing ear click,

Myoclonus in childhood

Seminars in Pediatric Neurology, 2003
The term "myoclonus" sounds esoteric, yet it is part of our normal physiology, occurring as a muscle jerk on drowsiness or falling asleep, during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, and as hiccoughs. Myoclonus is also a developmental feature of the human nervous system, comprising some of the earliest fetal movements.

Proprioception and myoclonus

Neurophysiologie Clinique/Clinical Neurophysiology, 2006
This review focuses on sensory information originating from muscle spindles and its role in proprioception and motor control. The first part reminds of the structural and functional properties of these muscle mechanoreceptors, with arguments for an independent fusimotor command, i.e.
