Isaacs syndrome (neuromyotonia) is an autoimmune peripheral nerve hyperexcitability syndrome, generally thought to be a voltage-gated potassium channelopathy; it sometimes occurs as a paraneoplastic syndrome. It may also accompany other disorders (eg, myasthenia gravis, thymoma, Hashimoto thyroiditis, vitamin B12 deficiency, celiac disease Find local businesses, view maps and get driving directions in Google Maps.

Here are four that have stood out as Issacs syndrome (also known as Isaacs' syndrome, Isaacs-Mertens syndrome, neuromyotonia, continuous muscle fiber activity syndrome, and quantal squander syndrome) is a rare neuromuscular disorder in which the peripheral nerve cells become overly excited (hyperexcitability) and continuously fire causing muscle fibers to activate. Symptoms include: Treatment. Isaacs syndrome involves overactivity of the nerves that stimulate muscle fibers. It causes progressive muscle stiffness, continuous muscle quivering and twitching, and cramping. In people with Isaacs syndrome, muscles, particularly those in the arms and legs, continually quiver and twitch, moving like a bag of worms, and often Isaacs syndrome (neuromyotonia) is an autoimmune peripheral nerve hyperexcitability syndrome, generally thought to be a voltage-gated potassium channelopathy; it sometimes occurs as a paraneoplastic syndrome .
