Postoperative myoclonic movement (PMM) is an uncommon side effect after general anesthesia (GA), and the exact cause of this neurologic complication is still unknown. Many factors such as anesthesia, psychological stresses, and surgical stress could trigger PMM. We are here reporting a case of PMM in the post-anesthetic care unit (PACU) following general anesthesia in an apparently healthy patient.
术后肌阵挛性运动(PMM)是全身麻醉(GA)后一种不常见的副作用,这种神经并发症的确切原因仍不清楚。许多因素,如麻醉、心理压力和手术应激,都可能引发PMM。我们在此报告一例在全身麻醉后于麻醉后护理单元(PACU)发生PMM的病例,该患者表面上健康。
