A single case study of a 58 year-old male with right asymmetric apraxia and akinetic-rigid syndrome is described. Brainimaging scans (MRI, SPECT) indicated asymmetric cortical atrophy compatible with the diagnosis of Corticobasal Degeneration. Reflex myoclonus was absent and myoclonic discharges only appeared in response to pharmacological treatment of limb dystonia and rigidity. Electromyographic evidence of jerky movements was recorded only in the affected right hand and forearm after muscle relaxation, and myoclonus was not preceded by an EEG paroxysm. The cortical components of the correspondent SEPs were not increased in amplitude while LLRs recordings showed a late response over the muscles of the affected side. Furthermore, the duration of post MEP silent period was bilaterally reduced. This single case study report points out that sometimes myoclonus in Corticobasal Degeneration can be masked by the presence of increased muscle tone.
