Posthypoxic myoclonus is a rare and devastating complication of near-fatal cardiopulmonary arrest. Despite treatment with available anti-myoclonic agents, some patients may recover cognitively but remain completely disabled by severe myoclonus. We report a 16-year-old patient with severe treatment-refractory posthypoxic myoclonus, which improved markedly with administration of the drug sodium oxybate.
缺氧后肌阵挛是近乎致命的心肺骤停的一种罕见且严重的并发症。尽管使用了现有的抗肌阵挛药物进行治疗,但一些患者可能在认知上有所恢复,但仍因严重肌阵挛而完全致残。我们报告了一名16岁患有严重难治性缺氧后肌阵挛的患者,使用羟丁酸钠治疗后病情明显改善。
