Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Palatal myoclonus is defined as a continuous, rhythmic contraction of the palatal musculature. Reverberant neuronal activity in a region of the brain stem known as the Guillain-Mollaret triangle is believed to underlie this condition. We present a case of palatal myoclonus which could be abolished by anterior neck flexion. The pathology and management of this condition is briefly discussed. |
