- Abstract: Lance-Adams syndrome (LAS) is a rare neurological disorder that may occur after cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The LAS is usually caused by hypoxic changes.Neuroimaging studies show that the brain pathology of LAS patients is not uniform, and the pathophysiology of the myoclonus can vary from patient to patient. Our case study contributes to this etiological heterogeneity by neuroimaging and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). In patients with rare brain conditions such as LAS, a combination of brain stimulation methods, such as TMS, and diffusion tensor imaging can provide insights into this condition's pathophysiology. These insights can facilitate the development of more effective therapies.
