Case ReportsPost-Anoxic Reticular Reflex Myoclonus in a Child and Proposed Classification of Post-Anoxic Myoclonus.
We describe a child with post-anoxic myoclonus of the reticular reflex type and discuss the classification of post-anoxic myoclonus. ⋯ Reticular reflex myoclonus can be demonstrated by detailed neurophysiological assessment in children as in adults, and it has a similar poor prognosis in children. Post-anoxic myoclonus can have several mechanisms and should not be considered synonymous with Lance-Adams myoclonus.
