%X La mioclon¨ªa poshipoxia cr¨®nica o s¨ªndrome de Lance Adams es una complicaci¨®n rara que se produce en pacientes que sobreviven a la hipoxia o la hipotensi¨®n prolongada, d¨ªas o semanas despu¨¦s del da o cerebral. Se present¨® un caso con este s¨ªndrome, secundario a shock hipovol¨¦mico por embarazo ect¨®pico roto. El electroencefalograma con ausencia de paroxismos apoya el origen subcortical de las mioclon¨ªas, con respuesta favorable al alonazep¨¢n. Se detallaron estudios de neuroimagen y potenciales evocados auditivos de tallo cerebral. The chronic poshipoxia myoclonus or Lance Adams syndrome is a rare complication that occurs in patients who survive prolonged hypoxia or hypotension, days or weeks after the complication. A case with this syndrome, hypovolemic shock secondary to a ruptured ectopic pregnancy is presented. EEG with no paroxysms supports the origin of myoclonus subcortical with favorable response to alonazep¨¢n. Neuroimaging and auditory evoked potentials and brainstem studies were detailed.
