title: [The clinical picture of essential myoclonus].
abstract: Familial essential myoclonus, a rare hereditary disease, is characterized by spontaneous myocloni without any other neurological and psychic symptoms. The report deals with two sisters who suffered from the disease and in whose family the syndrome occurred in two more generations. The outlook for a favourable therapeutic effect is limited. The prognosis is good.
