Myokymia and facial contraction in multiple sclerosis.
Continuous unilateral facial myokymia and facial contraction occurred in a patient with multiple sclerosis and there was subsequent resolution of these abnormalities. I compare abnormal facial movements of this type with those caused by other neurological diseases and discuss the possible mechanism of myokymia in diseases of the central and peripheral nervous systems.
