  • Title: Transient myoclonic jerks and restless legs during periodic tachypnea in acute mountain sickness.
    Author: Finsterer J.
    Journal: J Travel Med; 2007; 14(6):402-6. PubMed ID: 17995536.
    Abstract:
    A 46-year-old man with lower airway infection developed acute mountain sickness (AMS) at a 5,100 m high base camp. AMS was associated with myoclonic jerks (7-8/h) and restless legs. AMS with neurological manifestations could be relieved only upon descent to 3,500 m. To avoid pulmonary or neurological problems at high altitude, adequate acclimatization is a prerequisite.
