65 yo RHM, with celiac dz. Intermittent twitching of L toes began 8 years ago. 3yrs ago, they involved the whole L foot and then the L calf. Mvts became jerky and were worse when moving the leg or walking, but they also occur when sitting and even lying. The amplitude increased in the last year, interfering with gait and caused several falls. Exam revealed stiffness and jerky mvts of the L leg when he moves it and when it is stimulated. The movement pattern posed a phenomenological challenge. I wondered if this could be cortical myoclonus and decided to admit him for EEG monitoring and also observe him during sleep. EEG showed continual sharp spikes in the paracentral cortex over the leg area, present when the patient was awake and asleep. Discharges preceded involuntary movements at a fixed interval as demonstrated by bipolar surface EMG leads.

MYORHYTHMIAMYORHYTHMIA• An ambiguous term

• Myorhythmia was initially used to refer to the somewhat rhythmic movements that are sometimes seen in patients with torsion dystonia (coined by Ernst Herz in 1944).

• Its more common usage today refers to prolonged, slow frequency (<3 Hz), relatively rhythmic repetitive movements, as seen in Whipple disease, and semirhythmic myoclonus.

Whipple diseaseWhipple disease

The next two scenes of myorhythmia show two patients with Whipple disease.

The first has ocular myorhythmia that manifests as pendular vergence

oscillations. The second has synchronous facial-

masticatory-pharyngeal-nuchal-brachial myorhythmia as a feature of rhythmical

segmental myoclonus.

• Tics are acts that are impelling but not impossible to resist.

A stereotypy is a non–goal-directed movement or vocalization pattern that is repeated continually for a period of time in the same form and on multiple occasions, and which is typically distractible.
