Objective: To describe a novel motor cortex (M1) electroencephalogram (EEG) abnormality distinct to celiac disease (CD)-related cortical myoclonus and to explore its relationship with cerebellar-M1…A novel intronic pentanucleotide TTTGA repeat insertion in SAMD12 causes familial cortical myoclonic tremor with epilepsy type 1
Objective: To identify the genetic cause in a familial cortical myoclonic tremor with epilepsy (FCMTE) pedigree without reported pathogenic(TTTCA)n insertions. Background: FCMTE is an autosomal…Acute Onset Parkinsonism Secondary to West Nile Virus Encephalitis
Objective: To demonstrate a case of acute Parkinsonism caused by West Nile Virus (WNV) Encephalitis that improved with resolution of the infection. Background: Acute onset…Regardless of impaired renal function, negative myoclonus can be induced by gabapetin and pregabalin
Objective: This study evaluated pregabalin- or gabapentin-induced negative myoclonus according to renal function. Background: Gabapentin and pregabalin are commonly used to control neuropathic pain and epilepsy.…Drug-induced Negative Myoclonus: A Case Report
Objective: To report on a case of drug-induced negative myoclonus in a patient with a complex oral therapy. Background: Myoclonus is a shock-like jerk due…Adult-Onset Parainfectious Opsoclonus-Myoclonus: Report of Two Cases
