Abstract

Essential palatal myoclonus is a rare movement disorder consisting of continuous rhythmic jerks of the soft palate; it usually develops secondary to brainstem or cerebellar disease called symptomatic rhythmic palatal myoclonus. Diagnosis is usually clinical, and some patients, however, fail to show evidence of a structural lesion like our patient called essential rhythmic palatal myoclonus. We report a 51-year-old man who has suffered from the condition and showed improvements on treatments.

摘要

原发性腭肌阵挛是一种罕见的运动障碍，表现为软腭持续有节律的抽搐；它通常继发于脑干或小脑疾病，称为症状性节律性腭肌阵挛。诊断通常基于临床症状，然而，有些患者，如我们这位被称为原发性节律性腭肌阵挛的患者，并未显示出结构性病变的证据。我们报告了一名患有这种疾病的51岁男性，其在接受治疗后病情有所改善。
