Abstract:
A patient is described with myoclonic dystonia, a disorder characterized by a combination of dystonia and myoclonic contractions. A very good response to epidural cervical cord electrical stimulation was obtained. The findings in this case indicate that epidural cervical cord electrical stimulation could be a useful therapeutic approach in cases of myoclonic dystonia.
