A CASE REPORT LANCE - ADAMS SYNDROME FOLLOWING A RESUCITATED SUCCESSFULLY CIRCULATORY STOP
Main Article Content
Abstract
Chronic post-hypoxic myoclonus, also known as Lance-Adams syndrome, is a rare condition that presents with prolonged muscle jerks. It is typically observed in patients who have been successfully resuscitated following cardiac arrest, during the post-recovery period. In our patient, the diagnosis of Lance-Adams syndrome was made, and treatment with clonazepam and valproate was found to be effective and produced a rapid response. This case report aims to provide clinicians with additional experience in managing this rare disorder.
