MeSH Heading: Myokymia
Tree Number(s): C10.597.613.650; C23.888.592.608.650
Unique ID: D020385
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D020385
Annotation: consider also FASCICULATION; for continuous myokymia use ISAACS SYNDROME
Scope Note: Successive and rapid contractions of motor units associated with chronic nerve injury. The discharges arise from the peripheral aspects of regenerating nerves, and clinically impart a nearly continuous undulation of the body surface overlying the muscle. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1491)
Entry Term(s): Fibrillary Chorea; Kymatism; Morvan Chorea; Morvan's Chorea; Morvan's Fibrillary Chorea; Myokymia, Generalized
Previous Indexing: Fasciculation (1985-1999)
