Administration of clonazepam reduced the frequency and amplitude. When the therapy was discontinued, the frequency and amplitude of the myoclonus increased, and synchronous and weak myoclonus also was observed in the left abdomen. The trunk was twisted just after the appearance of the abdominal myoclonus associated with myoclonic jerks spreading from the rostral to caudal paraspinal muscles. Later in the clinical course, the myoclonus became stimulus sensitive and was induced by tendon tap given anywhere on the body, with the latency ranging from 50 to 150 ms irrespective of the sites of tapping. Myoclonus seen in the abdominal wall was segmental and considered to be of spinal origin. The reflex myoclonus had a 150\u2010ms refractory period. It can be postulated that increased excitability of anterior horn cells at a certain segment might make a spino\u2010bulbo\u2010spinal reflex manifest at the corresponding segment. This myoclonus is considered to be a new form of spinal reflex myoclonus, because the abdominal myoclonic jerk seems to trigger another myoclonic jerk involving the paraspinal muscles.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/mds.870090309","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,12,31]],"date-time":"2004-12-31T11:35:38Z","timestamp":1104492938000},"page":"325-329","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":34,"title":["Spinal myoclonus resembling belly dance"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Ichiyo","family":"Kono","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yoshihiro","family":"Ueda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kuniharu","family":"Araki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kenji","family":"Nakajima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hiroshi","family":"Shibasaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2004,10,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jnnp.37.10.1112"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jnnp.44.10.884"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_2","first-page":"408","article-title":"Reflex spinal myoclonus\u2013report of a case and its physiological mechanism","volume":"25","author":"Neshige R","year":"1985","journal-title":"Clin Neurol"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_5_2","first-page":"310","article-title":"A case of stimulus\u2010sensitive segmental spinal myoclonus","volume":"29","author":"Sagisaka H","year":"1989","journal-title":"Clin Neurol"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2170\/jjphysiol.14.411"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_7_2","first-page":"197","article-title":"Axial myoclonus of propriospinal orgin","volume":"14","author":"Brown P","year":"1991","journal-title":"Brain"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jnnp.55.11.1086"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_9_2","first-page":"78","article-title":"Reflexes evoked in leg muscles form arm afferents a propriospinal pathway in man?","volume":"43","author":"Meink H\u2010M","year":"1981","journal-title":"Exp Brain Res"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mds.870050105"}],"container-title":["Movement Disorders"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1002%2Fmds.870090309","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/movementdisorders.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/mds.870090309","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,20]],"date-time":"2025-10-20T10:09:10Z","timestamp":1760954950000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/movementdisorders.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/mds.870090309"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[1994,1]]},"references-count":9,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[1994,1]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1002\/mds.870090309"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/mds.870090309","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0885-3185","1531-8257"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0885-3185","type":"print"},{"value":"1531-8257","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[1994,1]]}}}
