Patient Concerns

Introduction: Myoclonic movement is not common side effect after general anaesthesia. Since we use various intravenous agents during general anaesthesia recently, it is troublesome to find out the exact cause of this neurologic complication. Patient concerns: A 28-year-old male patient without any past medical history underwent mandibular cyst enucleation surgery under general anaesthesia. Diagnoses: Sudden myoclonic movement confined to upper trunk and left upper extremity in recovery room after uneventful GA. Outcomes: There was no significant abnormality in electroencephalography or blood tests, which were taken after the event.

Myoclonic Movement

We report on the case of a 61-year-old male who initially presented with a progressive myoclonus and an intention tremor and was subsequently diagnosed with celiac disease. His neurological symptoms improved with anti-epileptic therapy and a gluten-free diet. Possible explanations include a milder disease phenotype or an epileptic component to his myoclonic movement disorder. This case highlights findings of a progressive myoclonic movement disorder, likely linked to celiac disease, and stresses the importance of a gluten-free diet in the management of the neurological manifestations of celiac disease.

Sporadic Cjd

Genetic human prion diseases are a group of inherited encephalopathies directly associated with different mutations in PrP-encoding gene PRNP, including more than 50 different mutations worldwide. Some genotypes of mutations show ethno-correlation, and among them, genetic Creutzfeldt–Jacob disease (gCJD) with V210I mutation is frequent in European countries but rare in East Asia. Here, we comparatively analyzed the clinical and laboratory features of three Chinese patients with V210I mutant identified via the Chinese National CJD Surveillance System (CNS-CJD) in 2019. Two cases were Han Chinese and one was Hui Chinese, without blood kinship. The onset ages of three cases were 69, 64, and 59 years old, respectively. The clinical features of V210I gCJD were similar to sporadic CJD (sCJD), displaying typical clinical symptoms and signs, except that Case 3 did not show myoclonic movement. All three cases displayed sCJD-associated abnormalities on MRI and positive CSF 14-3-3, while two cases recorded typical EEG abnormalities. Only one case was positive in CSF real-time quaking-induced conversion (RT-QuIC). Appearances of mutism in three cases were relatively fast, with the intervals of 30 to 50 days after onset. Family history was not reported in all three cases. Those V210I gCJD cases are rare in China, and probably the first three in East Asia.

Myoclonic Movement

Neurotoxicity manifested as confusion and seizures has been recognized as a side effect of multiple cephalosporins including ceftazidime. Renal impairment and inappropriate dosing are the most common contributors to the development of neurological abnormalities in patients receiving these antibiotics. The presence of baseline neurological abnormalities likely contributes to the frequency of these adverse events. Here, we present a case of a 78-year-old man that developed altered mental status and myoclonic movement after initiation of ceftazidime in the setting of mild renal dysfunction. Resolution of clinical picture was evident after 48 hours of discontinuation of the antibiotic without additional interventions.
