Abstract
We describe a 35-year-old man, who suffered a severe intraventricular hemorrhage and was admitted to the intensive care unit of our tertiary clinic. Two weeks after the incident, while in ICU, a neurological examination revealed persistent, undulating, rhythmic, myoclonic tongue movements. The diagnostic evaluation via CT scan, MRI and EEGs elicited a diffuse brainstem lesion as well as multiple corpus callosum lesions as a considerable underlying etiology. This case presentation attempts to update the current investigation of the rare phenomenon of lingual myoclonus.
期刊介绍：
This interdisciplinary journal publishes papers relating to the plasticity and response of the nervous system to accidental or experimental injuries and their interventions, transplantation, neurodegenerative disorders and experimental strategies to improve regeneration or functional recovery and rehabilitation. Experimental and clinical research papers adopting fresh conceptual approaches are encouraged. The overriding criteria for publication are novelty, significant experimental or clinical relevance and interest to a multidisciplinary audience. Experiments on un-anesthetized animals should conform with the standards for the use of laboratory animals as established by the Institute of Laboratory Animal Resources, US National Academy of Sciences. Experiments in which paralytic agents are used must be justified. Patient identity should be concealed. All manuscripts are sent out for blind peer review to editorial board members or outside reviewers. Restorative Neurology and Neuroscience is a member of Neuroscience Peer Review Consortium.
