Zusammenfassung

Die vorliegende Übersichtsarbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem Myalgie-Faszikulations-Krampus-Syndrom (MFKS), einer gutartigen Erkrankung, die zu den Hyperexzitabilitätssyndromen des peripheren Nervensystems gezählt wird. Der Artikel stellt die Klinik, Pathophysiologie, Differenzialdiagnostik und Therapie dar und illustriert das MFKS mit einem typischen Fallbericht.

Abstract

The present review focuses on the cramp-fasciculation syndrome, a benign disorder which is regarded as a hyperexcitability syndrome of the peripheral nervous system. The article presents clinical features, pathophysiology, differential diagnosis, therapy and a case report to illustrate the cramp-fasciculation-syndrome.
