Generalized reflex myoclonus in a patient with alcohol-sensitive spontaneous myoclonus and an abnormal gait

A patient with alcohol-sensitive spontaneous, action- and stimulus-sensitive generalized reflex myoclonus is reported. Gait was abnormal but could not be clearly classified as dystonic. No other neurological abnormality was present.

The possible relationship between alcohol-sensitive myoclonic dystonia and this case is discussed. Reflex myoclonus may serve as an additional clinical marker in the study of families with alcohol-sensitive myoclonus, dystonia, or both.
