Abstract

Abstract: Chronic post‐hypoxic myoclonus (PHM) is a rare complication after successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation that causes severe gait disability due to action myoclonus. We report a case of a 69‐year‐old male patient with chronic PHM who showed significant improvement in myoclonus and gait. The diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) was taken at initial admission and long‐term follow‐up (3 years) to find the changes in the diffusion matrices of the related neural correlate region of interest (ROI). There was a change in pedunculopontine nucleus and several subcortical networks.
