Five patients presenting with focal abnormal involuntary movements of the abdominal wall are described. One was shown to have diaphragmatic flutter, which may represent a variant of the palatal myoclonus syndrome. The other four had writhing movements and contractions of the abdominal wall at frequencies of approximately 30 per minute. In two of the latter cases, these abdominal movements were profoundly influenced by respiratory manoeuvres. They were quite unlike the movements of spinal myoclonus or axial torsion dystonia. None of the patients were taking drugs that might have provoked their abnormal movements, or had any other evidence of neurological deficit. No cause was established in any of the cases.
本文描述了5例出现腹壁局灶性异常不自主运动的患者。其中1例被证实患有膈肌扑动，这可能是腭肌阵挛综合征的一种变体。另外4例患者腹壁有每分钟约30次的蠕动和收缩。在其中2例患者中，这些腹部运动受到呼吸动作的显著影响。它们与脊髓性肌阵挛或轴性扭转肌张力障碍的运动完全不同。所有患者均未服用可能引发其异常运动的药物，也没有任何其他神经功能缺损的证据。所有病例均未明确病因。
