Recognizing myorhythmia 4 months after stroke – A teaching video

Abstract

In this case study with video and neurophysiology, we describe a rare case of hemimyorhythmia occurring 4 months after a stroke with bilateral affection of the thalamus and right superior cerebellar peduncle (Guillain-Mollaret-triangle). This case and especially the video with the clinical and EMG presentation of a synchronous rhythmic pattern at 3,1 Hz makes an important educational contribution to the recognition of myorhythmia and discussed differential diagnoses.
