Abstract:
:We report a 17-year-old man showing myoclonic involuntary movement (IVM) associated with chronic manganese (Mn) poisoning. The patient, a welder, showed myoclonic IVM mainly in the right upper and lower extremities, elevated levels of Mn in the blood and hair and high-intensity signals in the globus pallidus on T1-weighted MR images. Chelation therapy resulted in improvement of the myoclonic IVM and MRI abnormalities. This is the first report of Mn poisoning characterized by myoclonic IVM without parkinsonism.
