| Definitions |
Morvan syndrome is a rare, life-threatening, acquired neurologic disease characterized by neuromyotonia, dysautonomia and encephalopathy with severe insomnia. Signs involving central (e.g. hallucinations, confusion, amnesia, myoclonus), autonomic (e.g. variations in blood pressure, hyperhidrosis) and peripheral (e.g. painful cramps, myokymia) hyperactivity, as well as systemic manifestations (such as weight loss, pruritus, fever), are reported. Thymoma is present in some cases. Morvan syndrome is a rare autoimmune/paraneoplastic disorder involving antibodies to the voltage-gated potassium channel complex. It is defined by subacute encephalopathy, neuromuscular hyperexcitability, dysautonomia, and sleep disturbance. [PMID:27224435] |
