Refining Aesthetic Eyebrows: Botulinum Toxin Injection for Hemifacial Spasm.
Objective: To investigate the efficacy of botulinum toxin injection (BoNTA) in correcting eyebrow asymmetry in patients with hemifacial spasms (HFS). Background: HFS typically affects women…Deep Brain Stimulation for Post-Hypoxic Myoclonus: A Case Correlating Local Field Potentials to Clinical Outcome
Objective: To correlate local filed potential (LFP) spectral data with clinical improvement of the Unified Myoclonus Rating Scale (UMRS) in post-hypoxic myoclonus (PHM) syndrome treated…Closed-Loop Spinal Cord Stimulation: A Case Report on a Novel Therapeutic Approach for Post-Hypoxic Myoclonus
Objective: To present a case-study on use of closed-loop spinal cord stimulation (CL-SCS) for treating post-hypoxic myoclonus. Background: Post-hypoxic myoclonus is severely disabling and can…Lance – Adams Syndrome: a Case Series from Vietnam
Objective: To describe clinical features and treatments in patients with Lance–Adams syndrome (LAS) in Vietnam. Background: Lance–Adams Syndrome (LAS) is a rare neurological disorder. Because…Pallidal DBS improves myoclonus in 2 patients with post-hypoxic myoclonus
Objective: Describe DBS for 2 patients with severe post-hypoxic myoclonus. Background: Limited prior reports have shown improvement of PHM after DBS. We describe 2 recent…refractory myoclonus after COVID-19 with resolution after corticosteroids; a case report with brain biopsy and serial neuroimaging.
Objective: To present an individual with multifocal myoclonus after COVID-19 infection with resolution of bilateral MRI hyperintensities following corticosteroids use. Background: Myoclonus after Covid-19 infection…Unilateral GPi DBS in Secondary Myoclonus-Dystonia Syndrome after Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis: A Case Report
Objective: To present a case of deep brain stimulation (DBS)-ameliorated myoclonus-dystonia syndrome secondary to acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) and characterize fibers and circuits affected by…Post-hypoxic myoclonus after bilateral pallidal stimulation: A case report
Objective: To describe the effect of bilateral globus pallidus internus (GPi) deep brain stimulation (DBS) for post-hypoxic myoclonus and associated local field potential (LFP) activity.…Positive and negative myoclonus monitoring using ambulatory surface EMG and 3D accelerometry
Objective: An objective method is presented for monitoring of positive and negative myoclonus using wearable surface EMG and 3D accelerometry in clinical and home settings.…Conventional anti-epileptic drugs used in North Sea Progressive Myoclonus Epilepsy revisited in a Drosophila model
Objective: To determine the effect of conventional anti-epileptic drugs in a North Sea Progressive Myoclonus Epilepsy (NS-PME) Drosophila model. Background: In 2011, Corbett et al.…
