Abstract
- Neuromyotonia is characterized by spontaneous and continuous muscle fibre activity leading to muscle cramps, pseudomyotonia, myokymia and weakness. Electromyographic recordings show typical findings. An auto-immune mechanism has been suggested in at least a subset of patients. Various therapies have been tried with different outcome. A patient with neuromyotonia responding well to high-dose immunoglobulin treatment is presented.
