Abstract:
We report a 71 years old woman with transient periodic limb movement disorder and myoclonus that
appeared after acute gastrointestinal bleeding. The abnormal movements dissolved as the blood loss
was restored. The woman was later found to have an asymptomatic spine meningioma. Iron defi ciency
due to acute bleeding may be the trigger resulting in the abnormal movements in this patient with
subclinical spinal meningioma
