Myokymia of the tongue in a case of brainstem tumour that simulated motor-neuron disease.

Only registered users can translate articles

The diagnosis of a brainstem tumour, which presented as progressive bulbar palsy that resembled motor-neuron disease, was suspected because of the rare electromyographic finding of myokymia of the tongue, and was confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging.

Facial myokymia and brain stem tumor.

Only registered users can translate articles

An autoptic case of facial myokymia in glioma of the pons is described. The facial myokymia was the only symptom for many years. The authors emphasize the importance of the facial myokymia as a precocious sign of pons tumor and stress the meaning of the EMG in the differential diagnosis between

Eyelid Myokymia with Concomitant Cerebral Tumour: A Case Report.

Only registered users can translate articles

Eyelid myokymia is a localised movement disorder of the orbicularis oculi muscle with involuntary, fine, continuous, and undulating contractions. Although this entity is thought to be peripheral nerve origin, it rarely occurs with an intracranial lesion. The authors report a case of eyelid myokymia

Facial myokymia in the course of a pontine tumor.

Only registered users can translate articles

A patient with facial myokymia, suffering from an infiltrating grade II astrocytoma originating within the pons with vegetations invading the cerebellopontine angle, was studied clinically and electromyographically from 1973 to 1979. The myokymias started in the muscles of the right side of the face

Hypothermia, hyperhidrosis, myokymia and increased urinary excretion of catecholamines associated with a thymoma.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To report a rare syndrome associated with a thymoma and its first successful treatment with gammaglobulin. METHODS A 49-year-old white male presented with marked hypothermia, hyperhidrosis, myokymia and increased urinary excretion of catecholamines four weeks after complete excision of a

[Facial myokomias in brain stem tumors].

Only registered users can translate articles

Four cases of brain-stem tumor were described, in which myokymias were electromyographically derived from the region of several cerebral nerves. An attempt is made to interpret the effects of twitching by reference to the electromyogram. Myokymias are a positive indication of organic brain stem

Myokymia (fasciculation) of the tongue as a unique presentation of mucoepidermoid carcinoma.

Only registered users can translate articles

Neural invasion is a relatively common feature of squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck and malignant salivary gland tumours. The symptoms depend on the location and the particular nerves involved, and include pain, anaesthesia, paraesthesia and cranial nerve palsy. The present case appears

Unilateral facial myokymia in a dog with an intracranial meningioma.

Only registered users can translate articles

A 23-month-old castrated male Cavalier King Charles spaniel was evaluated because of a 6-month history of unusual rippling/undulating movements of the right facial muscles that were continuous and persisted during sleep. Neurological examination revealed narrowing of the right palpebral fissure and

Isolated facial myokymia and facial contracture: computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging correlation.

Only registered users can translate articles

Isolated facial myokymia with contracture can be the earliest manifestation of intrinsic lesions of the brainstem. We report a case of facial myokymia with contracture occurring as the result of a pontine glioma, as depicted on cranial computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging studies. The

Facial myokymia due to acoustic neurinoma.

Only registered users can translate articles

The case of a 62-year-old female patient who presented with facial myokymia is reported. The patient had a 13-year history of progressive left-sided hearing loss. In further course, involuntary, wormlike, rippling movements of the left facial muscles developed. Computed tomography revealed a tumor

Facial myokymia as a presenting symptom of vestibular schwannoma.

Only registered users can translate articles

Facial myokymia is a rare presenting feature of a vestibular schwannoma. We present a 48 year old woman with a large right vestibular schwannoma, who presented with facial myokymia. It is postulated that facial myokymia might be due to a defect in the motor axons of the 7th nerve or due to brain

Unilateral tongue myokymia - A rare topodiagnostic sign of different clinical conditions.

Only registered users can translate articles

Myokymia of the tongue is a very rare clinical condition and is much less common than facial or focal myokymia of the limbs. Radiation-induced delayed nerve damage is a well-known cause of myokymia, but other etiologies i.e. tumor recurrence should be considered as a differential diagnosis. We

Myokymia in the course of Bell's palsy. An electromyographic study.

Only registered users can translate articles

Facial myokymia has been described in association with many morbid conditions, most frequently multiple sclerosis (MS) and brainstem tumors (BST). Very few reports deal with myokymia in the course of Bell's palsy, despite high frequency of the disease. A series of 88 consecutive patients with Bell's
