Postanoxic myoclonus is a rare manifestation after an anoxic event, with fewer
than 150 cases reported in the literature. The condition is characterized by
myoclonic jerks, which are worse on action than at rest, and postural lapses,
ataxia, and dysarthria. The disability caused by postanoxic myoclonus can be
profound, and treatment in the rehabilitation setting is exceptionally
challenging. We present 2 patients who suffered from postanoxic myoclonus after
an anoxic event, both of whom were successfully treated with a combination of
levetiracetam, valproic acid, and clonazepam. These cases act as a framework for
discussing the management of postanoxic myoclonus in the clinical setting.
