Abstract

Isaacs’s syndrome (neuromyotonia), which is characterized by peripheralnerve hyperexcitability, is a rare condition of spontaneous and continuous muscle fibre activity. This syndrome is associated with myokymia, muscle cramps and stiffness, delayed muscle relaxation after contraction, muscle weakness, and hyperhydrosis. We report two siblings with Isaacs’syndrome associated with peripheral neuropathy gait disturbance, distal muscle weakness, neuromyotonia, muscle spasms, myokymia and hyperhydrosis. In both patients, neuromyotonic discharges were recorded by needle electromyography and axonal sensorimotor peripheral neuropathy was diagnosed electrophysiologically. In this study, a rare case of Isaacs’syndrome (neuromyotonia) associated with peripheralneuropathy is emphasized

Özet

Isaacs Sendromu (nöromiyotoni), spontan ve sürekli kas lif aktivitesi ile ortaya çıkan periferik sinirlerin hipereksitabilitesi ile karakterize, nadirgörülen bir klinik durumdur. Bu sendrom miyokimi, kas krampları ve katılığı, kontraksiyon sonrası kas gevşemesinde gecikme ve terleme artışıile ilişkilidir. Biz yürüyüş bozukluğu, distal kas güçsüzlüğü, nöromiyotoni,kas spazmları, miyokimi ve aşırı terleme ile karakterize, periferik nöropati ile birlikte görülen Isaacs Sendromlu iki kardeş olguyu sunmayı amaçladık.Her iki olgumuzda iğne elektromiyografisinde nöromiyotonik deşarjlar ve elektrofizyolojik olarak aksonal tipte sensorimotor periferik nöropati tanısı mevcuttu. Bu çalışmada, periferik nöropati ile ilişkili Isaacs Sendromu’nun(nöromiyotoni) nadir görülen birlikteliğine dikkat çekilmektedir.
