[Syndrome of constant muscle fiber activity (Isaacs syndrome)]
Abstract
Two cases with expressed signs of a permanent muscular tension in the extremities with fasciculation (the Isaacs syndrome) and difficulties in self-service are described. In both cases the diagnosis was verified by typical EEG changes and a good effect from the use of a diphenylhydantoin or finlepsin.
