  • Title: Rheumatoid rigor: gold induced myokymia. A report and review of the literature.
    Author: Nicholson D, Scalettar R, Jacobs RP.
    Journal: J Rheumatol; 1986 Feb; 13(1):195-6. PubMed ID: 3084775.
    Abstract:
    Myokymia is a spontaneous movement disorder characterized by slow, undulating, persistent movement of the involved muscles. It is an unusual manifestation of gold neurotoxicity, rarely reported in the rheumatologic literature. We report a case of gold induced myokymia associated with gold-induced dermatitis and nephropathy.
