Rheumatoid rigor: gold induced myokymia. A report and review of the literature.
Myokymia is a spontaneous movement disorder characterized by slow, undulating, persistent movement of the involved muscles. It is an unusual manifestation of gold neurotoxicity, rarely reported in the rheumatologic literature. We report a case of gold induced myokymia associated with gold-induced dermatitis and nephropathy.
