Abdominal muscles can be involved in rare conditions such as diaphragmatic myoclonus (also known as diaphragmatic flutter), which consists of brief involuntary, repetitive contractions of the diaphragm. The possible causes of this condition include neuronal reorganization after structural lesions in the central or peripheral nervous system, pharmaceutical intake or metabolic dysfunctions. In this case report, accompanied by video documentation, we describe a subject with a iatrogenic movement disorder of the diaphragm.

Abstract
Abdominal muscles can be involved in rare conditions such as diaphragmatic myoclonus (also known as diaphragmatic flutter), which consists of brief involuntary, repetitive contractions of the diaphragm. The possible causes of this condition include neuronal reorganization after structural lesions in the central or peripheral nervous system, pharmaceutical intake or metabolic dysfunctions. In this case report, accompanied by video documentation, we describe a subject with a iatrogenic movement disorder of the diaphragm.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
