Cervical astrocytoma with arm rigidity: clinical and electrophysiologic features.

D H Weinberg1, E L Logigian, J J Kelly.   

Abstract

A 67-year-old woman developed a fixed, flexed posture of the right arm and hand due to a cervical astrocytoma. EMG showed continuous motor unit potential firing at 8 to 15 Hz with an abnormal silent period, presumably due to the loss of local spinal cord inhibitory interneuronal input.
