P 122 Stimulus-responsive myoclonic jerks of both levator palpebrae muscles in a comatose survivor of cardiopulmonary resuscitation may pretended awareness

Comatose survivors of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), who develop myoclonus within 1–2days after CPR, usually have a poor prognosis. Typically, such myoclonus occurs or increases on sensory stimuli like touching the patient or acoustic stimuli. Myclonic jerks mainly occur in the muscles of the face, shoulder girdle and diaphragm. Sometimes, such jerks may be restricted to one muscle like the diaphragm leading to hiccups. We report one comatose survivor of CPR with stimulus-sensitive myoclonus, which was restricted to both levator palpebrae muscles leading to eye opening on acoustic stimulation and by doing so pretending awareness.
