Carotid brainstem reflex myoclonus after hypoxic brain damage [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 2000
A patient comatose after acute anoxia developed bilaterally synchronous, periodic myoclonic jerks most prominently in the bilateral upper limbs. Although the myoclonus seemed to occur spontaneously, electrophysiological studies showed that the myoclonic jerks correlated in timing and size with arterial pulses, and was suppressed by massage over the ...
