[Curarization for contributing symptomatic treatment of myoclonic jerks induced by chloralose poisoning].
Chloralose poisoning especially leads to consciousness failure and hyperexcitability with typical myoclonic jerks. In an observation of chloralose poisoning by ingestion of synthetic substance against moles, curarization by cistracurium besylate was proposed to contribute in the symptomatic treatment of myoclonus syndrome induced by chloralose poisoning and resistant to a large dose of diazepam.
