Abstract
Chronic post-hypoxic myoclonus, also known as Lance-Adams Syndrome, is a rare neurological complication of successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation, generally occurring days to months after the inciting event. Here we present a 60 year-old man who developed the condition following PEA arrest. We discuss his clinical course, onset of symptoms, diagnostic work-up, and management in hopes of increasing awareness of this rare condition.
