title: Neuromyotonia. A mild case.
abstract: A mild case of the syndrome of generalized, sustained, fine muscular twitchings and impaired relaxation after a vigorous contraction (but without a myotonic response), which is presumably due to peripheral motor nerve hyperactivity is described. In this case, generalized muscle stiffness, deformities of the hands and feet, excessive sweating and an increased basal metabolic rate were not present.
