A 46-year-old male patient was irradiated following left orchiectomy for
seminoma
. Three months after radiation, segmental
myoclonus
appeared involving all skeletal muscle groups up to the level of D10, the area of radiation. Urodynamic testing showed the presence of segmental
myoclonus
in the urethral sphincter. An around-the-clock 'continuous segmental
myoclonus
' during sleep and wakefulness with a frequency of 1 c/s and an amplitude of 400 microV selectively inhibited by REM sleep was not found in the literature. This continuous segmental
myoclonus
caused by a radiation myelopathy at D10-D11 was followed up for 2 years. It was partially controlled by carbamazepine.
