MeSH Heading: Nocturnal Myoclonus Syndrome
Tree Number(s): C10.886.425.800.600; C10.886.659.618
Unique ID: D020189
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D020189
Scope Note: Excessive periodic leg movements during sleep that cause micro-arousals and interfere with the maintenance of sleep. This condition induces a state of relative sleep deprivation which manifests as excessive daytime hypersomnolence. The movements are characterized by repetitive contractions of the tibialis anterior muscle, extension of the toe, and intermittent flexion of the hip, knee and ankle. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p387)
