ABSTRACT
Neck myoclonus is part of sleep-related dyskinesia characterized by sudden myoclonus during night sleep. Myoclonus causes pronounced brief rotation or flexion of the head. As a single event, neck myoclon ususually occurs during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, and it lasts longer than 0.5-1.0 s. At present, neck myoclonus is rarely reported. A 28-year-old male whose clinical manifestation was repeated head swing during sleep was admitted to Tangdu Hospital. Video-polysomnography showed that all the events occurred during REM sleep, and some of them were accompanied by micro-arousal reaction and leg movement. Small does of clonazepam could relieve symptoms.
