1. A rare sporadic disorder of unknown aetiology with onset usually in late childhood or early adulthood, characterised by intermittent or continuous involuntary muscle contractions, producing "stiffness" or "clumsiness" and accompanied by increased sweating, increased skin temperature, fasciculations, and myokymia.
