title: Neuromyotonia as paraneoplastic manifestation of bladder carcinoma.
abstract: Neuromyotonia(NMT) or Isaacs syndrome is a rare syndrome characterized by continuous spontaneous muscle fiber contraction resulting from hyperexcitability of peripheral nerves often associated with autoimmune disorders and tumours. Here we report an unpublished association of NMT and bladder cancer.
