Drop episodes in Coffin-Lowry syndrome: an unusual type of startle response EPILEPTIC DISORDERS Caraballo, R., Rocha, A. T., Medina, C., Fejerman, N. 2000; 2 (3): 173-176

Abstract

We present a patient with a complete Coffin-Lowry syndrome, associated with drop episodes precipitated by sudden auditory stimuli, which provoked in turn, a definite loss of muscle tone in both legs. Electrophysiological studies showed that these episodes are an unusual type of startle response and that they may be associated with Coffin-Lowry syndrome.
