Two patients are described who developed action, reflex myoclonus during acute renal failure. In both cases the myoclonus was abolished after the intravenous administration of clonazepam. We suggest that the characteristic action myoclonus, which occurs in both acute renal failure and postanoxic encephalopathy, is caused by a disturbance of function in the lower brainstem reticular formation.
本文描述了两名在急性肾衰竭期间出现动作性、反射性肌阵挛的患者。在这两个病例中,静脉注射氯硝西泮后肌阵挛均消失。我们认为,急性肾衰竭和缺氧后脑病中出现的典型动作性肌阵挛是由脑干下部网状结构功能紊乱引起的。
