  • Title: Psychogenic propriospinal myoclonus.
    Author: Williams DR, Cowey M, Tuck K, Day B.
    Journal: Mov Disord; 2008 Jul 15; 23(9):1312-3. PubMed ID: 18412285.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of probable psychogenic propriospinal myoclonus (PSM) in a patient who developed a sudden onset of disabling axial flexor myoclonus following a cosmetic surgical procedure. The electrophysiological findings were consistent with previous reports of PSM. Spontaneous remissions and disappearance of the jerks, sustained for 2 years, following removal of superficial surgical screws support the diagnosis of a psychogenic movement disorder.
