title: Multi-beat clonus in a patient without an upper motor neuron lesion. A case report.
abstract: The authors present a case of five-beat clonus in the absence of a central nervous system pathologic condition. As data obtained from the literature demonstrate, clinicians should be aware that multi-beat clonus is not always associated with upper motor neuron lesions.
