myoclonus epilepsy
Opioids occasionally cause myoclonus, seizures, and hallucinations.
Asymmetrical akinesia and rigidity affect predominantly the upper limbs, which are also the site of tremor, dystonic movements and myoclonus.
Neurological signs frequently accompanying metabolic encephalopathy are postural tremor, asterixis and myoclonus.
Patients were assessed for hallucinations, myoclonus, fatigue, and sedation.
Other symptoms may include increased irritability, vomiting, diplopia, seizures, twitching and myoclonus of the limbs.
It frequently occurs along with myoclonus in opsoclonus myoclonus syndrome.
Severe cases of pathologic myoclonus can distort movement and severely limit a person's ability to sleep, eat, talk, and walk.
Although clonazepam and/or sodium valproate are effective in the majority of patients with myoclonus, some people have adverse reactions to these drugs.
Anatomically, myoclonus may originate from lesions of the cortex, subcortex or spinal cord.
