Neuromyotonia. Report of a case.

The authors report the case of a 67-year-old man, affected by diffuse spasms evoked by ischemia and voluntary and reflex movements electromyographically characterized by an intense repetitive activity. There was also a modest and diffuse muscle wasting with lower limbs areflexia; no myokymia. The EMG showed severe neurogenic changes and a considerable reduction of the MMCV in the lateral popliteal nerve area.
