Abstract:
This article aims to improve the understanding of Lance-Adams syndrome (LAS) in clinical practice. By analyzing the clinical data of a patient diagnosed with LAS in 2021 and conducting a literature review, this article elaborates on the clinical symptoms, pathogenesis, diagnostic methods, and treatment regimens of LAS. LAS is a rare central nervous system disorder characterized by action myoclonus after cerebral hypoxia. The etiology of LAS is mainly associated with cerebral hypoxia, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation and asphyxia are the most common predisposing factors for LAS. Characteristic manifestations on electroencephalography have an important value in diagnosis. Clinicians should enhance their ability to identify LAS through typical clinical symptoms and electroencephalography in the early stage. This article also points out that there are still many challenges in the treatment of LAS, which requires further research and exploration. This article has an important reference value in improving the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of LAS.
