Abstract
The clinical and electrophysiological features of a truncal myoclonus in a 55‐year‐old man are described. The electromyographic characteristics point toward propriospinal myoclonus. It is suggested that a myoclonic generator was released after use of ciprofloxacin, by antagonising the γ‐aminobutyric acid metabolism. © 2004 Movement Disorder SocietyKeywords
