title: Morvan's fibrillary chorea: remission after plasmapheresis.
abstract: We evaluated the effects of plasmapheresis in two patients with Morvan's fibrillary chorea, one of whom had sigmoid carcinoma, with oligoclonal bands in the cerebrospinal fluid, and modifications of the lipid-oxidative muscle pattern. The use of plasmapheresis in the treatment of Morvan's fibrillary chorea has not been reported previously and in our patients improved the symptoms markedly.
