Abstract
A case of severe action myoclonus after pulmonary arrest is described. Although there was benefit from oral pharmacotherapy, action myoclonus remained disabling. A favorable response to baclofen during an intrathecal trial led to eventual placement of an intrathecal baclofen pump. The present case illustrates the potential utility of intrathecal baclofen for treating this condition. V.
