Paroxysmal sensorimotor phenomena of spinal cord origin are well documented in the literature dealing with multiple sclerosis, but have seldom been identified in other conditions. These seizures are characterized by tonic spasm in the extremities, often accompanied by painful dysesthesias, and are fleeting, usually lasting no more than two minutes. Although they may occur spontaneously, they are commonly precipitated by tactile stimulation or movement of the extremity. These episodes must be clinically differentiated from spasticity as they have been shown to be responsive to anticonvulsants such as Carbamazepine (Tegretol).
