Facial myokymia with polyradiculoneuropathy
Neurology, 1979Two patients had bilateral facial myokymia in association with polyradiculoneuropathy. Characteristic electromyographic findings allow polyradiculoneuropathy to be differentiated from other causes of facial movements, and support the possibility that extraaxial facial nerve involvement is another cause of facial myokymia.

Facial Myokymia in Syringobulbia
Archives of Neurology, 1990A patient with a 2-year history of progressive ataxia and tingling in the right hand had prominent facial myokymia. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed syringomyelia and syringobulbia. After successful syringosubarachnoid shunting, the patient died of massive pulmonary embolism.

Myokymia is one of the involuntary movements, which is characterized by undulatory muscle spasm, similar to the worm's crawl. Sometimes muscle pain, itchy sensation, dysautonomia and other symptoms are associated with it. Cases showing normal neurological findings are rare.

MYOKYMIA WITH IMPAIRED MUSCULAR RELAXATION
The Lancet, 1969Abstract The first of several conditions to be given the name of myokymia was the rare syndrome described by Schultze (1895) in which continuous, slow, undulating, muscular contractions are associated with a type of muscular spasm superficially resembling myotonia. A further case of this type is described.

Myokymia and neuromyotonia are findings commonly seen in syndromes of hyperexcitability of the peripheral axon. In this chapter, the similar etiologies, clinical picture, and electrophysiologic studies are reviewed. The more recent associations with channel disorders are also highlighted.

Intractable Orbicularis Myokymia: Treatment Alternatives
Ophthalmic Surgery, Lasers and Imaging Retina, 1989ABSTRACT Orbicularis myokymia frequently occurs in young, otherwise healthy individuals. The intermittent muscle fasciculations are transient and generally disappear with time. If the myokymia is persistent or progressive, neurologic assessment and investigation may be necessary.

Facial Myokymia in Association with Medulloblastoma
Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 1975SUMMARYA case is reported of medulloblastoma in a five‐year‐ old boy which presented as communicating hydrocephalus, in which the presence of unilateral facial myokymia ultimately led to the diagnosis. The possible pathophysiology of myokymia and its importance as a clinical sign are discussed.RÉSUMÉMyokymie faciale associée à un médulloblastomeLes ...

Archives of Neurology, 1972
A patient was seen who developed myokymia acutely. The electromyographic picture revealed the typical trains of motor unit potentials in the gastrocnemii at rest. A biopsy of the gastrocnemius muscle at a time when myokymia was present showed some interesting histochemical changes. A population of fibers was seen which was entirely depleted of glycogen.

MYOKYMIA—A CAUSE OF "RESTLESS LEGS"
Journal of the American Medical Association, 1947The purpose of this article is to point out an entity, not previously considered, which can give rise to the complaints described as "restless legs." This manifestation has been termed myokymia. It is characterized by the occurrence of irregular fascicular twitching of the muscles.
