Lance–Adams syndrome

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lance–Adams syndrome (LAS) is a sequela of hypoxic encephalopathy due to respiratory arrest, airway obstruction, cardiac arrest, etc., several days after the onset of hypoxic encephalopathy. A condition that presents with functional myoclonus associated with increased cortical excitability in a few weeks.[1][2][3][4] It was first reported by James Lance and Raymond Adams in 1963.[5][6]

It is a disease that presents Myoclonus as a sequela of hypoxic disorders in the brain due to asphyxiation and cardiopulmonary arrest.[2][3] It is exacerbated by mental and physical anxiety such as intention, intentional movement, and tension.[2][3]

Pathology

[edit]

It appears due to Basal ganglia lesions due to hypoxic encephalopathy.[2]

Treatment

[edit]

Clonazepam and Valproate, which enhance serotonin and GABAA receptor, are widely used as therapeutic agents .[2][4][7] It has been reported that Levetiracetam was effective in cases in which clonazepam and valproic acid were ineffective.[8][9][10] Other reports have shown that piracetam has been shown to be effective.[4][11]

Perampanel

[edit]

From around 2017, reports that Perampanel are effective have been gathered, and cases of complete cure have been reported.[12][13][14][15][16]

In April 2021, a group at Kyoto University reported a case of Lance Adams syndrome 11 years after onset due to hypoxic encephalopathy caused by a bronchial asthma attack, and in March 2022, a group at Kitasato University reported a case of Lance Adams syndrome after a hanging neck injury 1 year and 6 months after onset. There are an increasing number of reports showing improvement even in chronic cases, such as a case report of a patient who was able to hold a standing position after treatment with perampanel and significant improvement in motor myoclonus.[16][17]
