Clonazepam for palatal myoclonus.

Maffulli replies: Dr Lederman has every reason to be puzzled that the symptoms described referred to the left forearm, as indeed the forearm kept in pronation in a violinist is the right.We apologise for the error, but the description of the possible mechanisms made it quite clear that we were considering the right forearm.We agree that the diagnosis of posterior interosseous neuropathy is often difficult, due to the paucity of definite signs.Nevertheless, in our opinion, the patients described were indeed showing a transitory deficit of the posterior interosseous nerve, and such a diag- nosis was thus justified.
