Abstract
A patient with alcohol‐sensitive spontaneous, action‐ and stimulus‐sensitive generalized reflex myoclonus is reported. Gait was abnormal but could not be clearly classified as dystonic. No other neurological abnormality was present. The possible relationship between alcohol‐sensitive myoclonic dystonic and this case is discussed. Reflex myoclonus may serve as an additional clinical marker in the study of families with alcohol‐sensitive myoclonus, dystonic, or both.Keywords
