Palatal myoclonus (PM) is usually caused by lesions of the brainstem. We report a case of PM of focal cortical origin in a patient with epilepsia partialis continua. The PM sometimes occurred in isolation, and at other times was accompanied by unilateral face, neck, and arm twitching. This was documented by both EEG and SPECT.
腭肌阵挛(PM)通常由脑干病变引起。我们报告一例持续性部分性癫痫患者发生的局灶性皮质起源的PM。该PM有时单独出现,有时伴有单侧面部、颈部和手臂抽搐。脑电图和单光子发射计算机断层扫描(SPECT)均记录了这一情况。
