Abstract

We describe a young man with a two and a half year history of idiopathic irregular contractions of an antitragicus muscle in the absence of a more generalized movement disorder. These contractions persisted in sleep and could not be replicated voluntarily. Because proximal nerve block temporarily eliminated the movements and complex hand movements reduced their amplitude and frequency, we suspect a central generator. However, these movements were not associated with any known pathologic condition. © 1991, Canadian Neurological Sciences Federation. All rights reserved.
