43 patients with facial myokymia were examined clinically and electromyographically over periods of up to 13 years. 18 patients were suffering from multiple sclerosis, 6 patients from brain stem tumour or tumours of the posterior cranial fossa, and 19 from other known or unknown neurological disorders. Duration, recurrences, EMG results of myokymia and

AbstractThirty‐eight patients with myokymic discharges localized to limb muscles on needle electromyography had various neurologic lesions, both acute and chronic. Of the 38 patients, 27 had had previous radiation therapy and the clinical diagnosis of radiation‐induced plexopathy, myelopathy, or both.

To the Editor. —The transient, intermittent vertical diplopia and/or shimmering monocular visual distortion seen in superior oblique myokymia (SOM) is by now well recognized by most clinicians dealing with ophthalmologic and neurologic problems. 1 The cause of this apparent transient discharge from the trochlear nerve remains unsolved.

Pathologic examination in a case of facial myokymia showed edema and mild astroglial proliferation of the ipsilateral seventh nerve nucleus; gliomatous tumor involvement occurred rostral to this nucleus. These findings give circumstantial support to functional deafferentation as the cause of facial myokymia.

Myokymia and neuromyotonia in a cat
Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 2005A 6-year-old spayed female domestic shorthair cat was examined because of a 2-week history of rhythmic muscle movements. Physical examination revealed thoracic limb rigidity, contracture of the carpi, generalized muscle atrophy, and rhythmic rippling of the muscles of all 4 limbs.

MYOKYMIA is a muscular disorder that causes a vermicular, writhing motion visible through the skin overlying the affected muscles, which is diagnosed by its characteristic clinical features and distinctive appearance on electromyography (Shapiro and others 2002).

Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports, 2003
Superior oblique myokymia (SOM) is an uncommon, monocular movement disorder involving rapid torsional, low-amplitude contractions of the superior oblique muscle that causes monocular oscillopsia and diplopia. Ocular and neurologic examination in these patients is usually normal, and the clinical course is characterized by exacerbation remissions with ...

Abstract Myokymic discharges are spontaneous bursts of individual motor units occurring rhythmically or semirhythmically. Myokymia is typically seen in demyelinating disorders. We present 5 patients with myokymia in axonal disorders, including a case of myokymia after Botox injection, which ...

Superior oblique myokymia is an unusual disorder of ocular motility characterized by rapid, small amplitude, rotary oscillations limited to one eye. Symptoms of monocular oscillopsia and torsional diplopia are experienced by the patient. Although symptomatically obtrusive, the syndrome is benign in our experience.
