What is a myoclonic seizure? Myoclonic (MY-o-KLON-ik) seizures are brief, shock-like jerks of a muscle or a group of muscles. "Myo" means muscle and "clonus" (KLOH-nus) means rapidly alternating contraction and relaxation—jerking or twitching—of a muscle. Usually they don't last more than a second or two.

Symptoms of Myoclonic Seizures The mechanism is similar to a myoclonic jerk, the sudden spasm occasionally experienced by people as they are falling asleep. However, unlike myoclonic jerks, the “jolts” of myoclonic seizures occur in bouts.
Tonic: Muscles in the body become stiff. Atonic: Muscles in the body relax. Myoclonic: Short jerking in parts of the body. Clonic: Periods of shaking or jerking parts on the body.
Nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) refers to a prolonged seizure that manifests primarily as altered mental status as opposed to the dramatic convulsions seen in generalized tonic-clonic status epilepticus.
If documentation does not indicate a specific cause for the seizure-like activity it is appropriate to code R56. 9 for unspecified convulsions.
Overview. A grand mal seizure causes a loss of consciousness and violent muscle contractions. It's the type of seizure most people picture when they think about seizures. A grand mal seizure — also known as a generalized tonic-clonic seizure — is caused by abnormal electrical activity throughout the brain.
Overview. Myoclonus refers to a quick, involuntary muscle jerk. Hiccups are a form of myoclonus, as are the sudden jerks, or "sleep starts," you may feel just before falling asleep. These forms of myoclonus occur in healthy people and rarely present a problem.
Definition. Opsoclonus myoclonus is a rare neurological disorder characterized by an unsteady, trembling gait, myoclonus (brief, shock-like muscle spasms), and opsoclonus (irregular, rapid eye movements). Other symptoms may include difficulty speaking, poorly articulated speech, or an inability to speak.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) An MRI scan may be used to check for structural problems or tumors inside your brain or spinal cord, which may cause your myoclonus symptoms. An MRI scan uses a magnetic field and radio waves to produce detailed images of your brain, spinal cord and other areas of your body.
A myoclonic seizure is where some or all of your body suddenly twitches or jerks, like you've had an electric shock. They often happen soon after waking up. Myoclonic seizures usually only last a fraction of a second, but several can sometimes occur in a short space of time. You normally remain awake during them.
Myoclonic seizures are a type of seizure that causes sharp, uncontrollable muscle movements. They're usually minor and brief, but can happen with very severe seizure disorders. They're most common with childhood seizure conditions, but can also happen in adults.
A myoclonic seizure happens when your muscles suddenly contract, causing quick twitching movements. It usually affects one side of the body and involves the neck, shoulders, and upper arms. It can also affect the whole body.
Listen to pronunciation. (MY-oh-KLAH-nik …) A sudden, brief, strong contraction of a muscle or group of muscles that cannot be controlled.
G25.3 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of myoclonus. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
These myoclonic twitches, jerks, or seizures are usually caused by sudden muscle contractions (positive myoclonus) or brief lapses of contraction (negative myoclonus).
The most common circumstance under which they occur is while falling asleep (hypnic jerk). Myoclonic jerks occur in healthy persons and are experienced occasionally by everyone. However, when they appear with more persistence and become more widespread they can be a sign of various neurological disorders.

Clinical Information. An inherited or acquired, localized or generalized disorder affecting the muscles. It may be associated with abnormalities in the chloride or sodium channels of the muscles. It is characterized by delayed muscle relaxation following stimulation or contraction. Representative examples include myotonia congenita ...
Diseases characterized by myotonia, which may be inherited or acquired. Myotonia may be restricted to certain muscles (e.g., intrinsic hand muscles) or occur as a generalized condition. These disorders may be associated with abnormal muscle sodium channel and chloride channels.

Autosomal dominant neuromuscular disorder which usually presents in early adulthood, characterized by progressive muscular atrophy (most frequently involving the hands, forearms, and face), myotonia, frontal baldness, lenticular opacities, and testicular atrophy; cardiac conduction abnormalities, diaphragmatic weakness, and mild mental retardation may also occur; congenital myotonic dystrophy is a severe form of this disorder.
