'Stiff-man syndrome' in an adolescent
Pediatrics.
1981 May.
Abstract
A 16-year-old body with stiff-man syndrome is described because the condition rarely occurs in this age group. Diagnosis, by appropriate electrodiagnostic studies, is important because stiff-man syndrome is easily treated with high doses of diazepam.
