Myokymia of the tongue in a case of brainstem tumour that simulated motor-neuron disease.

R W Adams1, N F Skuse.   

Abstract

The diagnosis of a brainstem tumour, which presented as progressive bulbar palsy that resembled motor-neuron disease, was suspected because of the rare electromyographic finding of myokymia of the tongue, and was confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging.
