Abstract |
Treatment of 27-year-old Black man with writer's cramp with a combination of sodium valproate ( Epilim) and baclofen ( Lioresal) resulted in dramatic improvement of symptoms and signs. The possible mechanism of action of these drugs is discussed. This combination should be tried in the initial management of this syndrome.
