The diagnosis of a brainstem tumour, which presented as progressive bulbar palsy that resembled motor-neuron disease, was suspected because of the rare electromyographic finding of myokymia of the tongue, and was confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging.
An autoptic case of facial myokymia in glioma of the pons is described. The facial myokymia was the only symptom for many years. The authors emphasize the importance of the facial myokymia as a precocious sign of pons tumor and stress the meaning of the EMG in the differential diagnosis between
Eyelid myokymia is a localised movement disorder of the orbicularis oculi muscle with involuntary, fine, continuous, and undulating contractions. Although this entity is thought to be peripheral nerve origin, it rarely occurs with an intracranial lesion. The authors report a case of eyelid myokymia
A patient with facial myokymia, suffering from an infiltrating grade II astrocytoma originating within the pons with vegetations invading the cerebellopontine angle, was studied clinically and electromyographically from 1973 to 1979. The myokymias started in the muscles of the right side of the face
OBJECTIVE
To report a rare syndrome associated with a thymoma and its first successful treatment with gammaglobulin.
METHODS
A 49-year-old white male presented with marked hypothermia, hyperhidrosis, myokymia and increased urinary excretion of catecholamines four weeks after complete excision of a
Four cases of brain-stem tumor were described, in which myokymias were electromyographically derived from the region of several cerebral nerves. An attempt is made to interpret the effects of twitching by reference to the electromyogram. Myokymias are a positive indication of organic brain stem
Neural invasion is a relatively common feature of squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck and malignant salivary gland tumours. The symptoms depend on the location and the particular nerves involved, and include pain, anaesthesia, paraesthesia and cranial nerve palsy. The present case appears
A 23-month-old castrated male Cavalier King Charles spaniel was evaluated because of a 6-month history of unusual rippling/undulating movements of the right facial muscles that were continuous and persisted during sleep. Neurological examination revealed narrowing of the right palpebral fissure and
Isolated facial myokymia with contracture can be the earliest manifestation of intrinsic lesions of the brainstem. We report a case of facial myokymia with contracture occurring as the result of a pontine glioma, as depicted on cranial computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging studies. The
The case of a 62-year-old female patient who presented with facial myokymia is reported. The patient had a 13-year history of progressive left-sided hearing loss. In further course, involuntary, wormlike, rippling movements of the left facial muscles developed. Computed tomography revealed a tumor
Facial myokymia is a rare presenting feature of a vestibular schwannoma. We present a 48 year old woman with a large right vestibular schwannoma, who presented with facial myokymia. It is postulated that facial myokymia might be due to a defect in the motor axons of the 7th nerve or due to brain
Myokymia of the tongue is a very rare clinical condition and is much less common than facial or focal myokymia of the limbs. Radiation-induced delayed nerve damage is a well-known cause of myokymia, but other etiologies i.e. tumor recurrence should be considered as a differential diagnosis. We
Facial myokymia has been described in association with many morbid conditions, most frequently multiple sclerosis (MS) and brainstem tumors (BST). Very few reports deal with myokymia in the course of Bell's palsy, despite high frequency of the disease. A series of 88 consecutive patients with Bell's
