摘要：
Posthypoxic myoclonus is a rare and devastating complication of near-fatal cardiopulmonary an-est. Despite treatment with available anti-myoclonic agents, some patients may recover cognitively but remain completely disabled by severe myoclonus. We report a 16-year-old patient with severe treatment-refractory posthypoxic myoclonus, which improved markedly with administration of the drug sodium oxybate.
