Nice paper on the differences btwn #myoclonus cases presenting to inpatient vs. outpatient #neurology. #MedEd
Etiological differences:
Inpt:
-Toxic/drug-induced
-Static hypoxic/ischemic
-Parainfectious & metabolic

Outpt:
-Neurodegenerative
-Inflam/autoimmune/paraneoplastic
-Idiopathic

Besides repeatedly not recognizing people standing right next to him ( #PROSOPAGNOSIA ) and not comprehending what people say ( #APHASIA ) now #DEMENTIADON is having involuntary MUSCLE SPASMS ( #MYOCLONUS ). All symptoms of #FrontoTemporalDEMENTIA . IT WON'T BE LONG NOW!
