This review explores the history and use of the terms essential myoclonus and myoclonic dystonia. In addition, the review proposes that hereditary essential myoclonus and dominantly inherited myoclonic dystonia, with lightning jerks and dramatic response to alcohol, are the same disease, although proof of this hypothesis must come from ongoing genetic studies.
本综述探讨了原发性肌阵挛和肌阵挛性肌张力障碍这两个术语的历史及应用。此外,该综述提出,遗传性原发性肌阵挛和显性遗传性肌阵挛性肌张力障碍,伴有闪电样抽搐且对酒精有显著反应,是同一种疾病,尽管这一假说的证据必须来自正在进行的基因研究。
