A Rare Case of Oculopalatal Myoclonus
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
We present a rare case of a 40 year old female who suffered a pontine haemorrhage due to uncontrolled hypertension and a year later, was found to have oculopalatal myoclonus. Oculopalatal myoclonus is characterized by rhythmic pendular vertical eye movements associated with synchronous contraction of the soft palate. It produces intractable oscilopsia and normally is due to brain stem haemorrhage. The site of the lesion usually is in the triangle of GuillianMollaret. We would like to report this case due to its rarity. Most of these patients do no complain of dysphagia or dyspnonia and should be counselled about that fact that they can lead a normal life despite having anoculopalatal myoclonus
