Abstract

Myoclonus may originate from the cerebral cortex, subcortical structures, brainstem, spinal cord or peripheral nerve. But unilateral upper limb myoclonus related to cortical infarct is an unusual clinical picture. We report a 67-year-old man presented with myoclonus, associated with primary motor cortex infarction.
