¨A síndrome de Lance-Adams (SLA) é caracterizada por mioclonias pós-hipóxicas crônicas, podendo surgir dias, semanas ou meses após grave lesão isquêmica ao sistema nervoso central. Sua incidência é muito baixa. Os pacientes que sobrevivem aos longos períodos de parada cardiorrespiratórias (PCR) geralmente cursam com graves complicações neurológicas, tais como mioclonias pós-hipóxicas. Dois tipos de mioclonias são bem descritas na literatura: mioclonia pós-hipóxica aguda, também denominada de estado epilético mioclônico, ocorrendo imediatamente ou pouco tempo após as manobras efetivas de RCP; e mioclonias pós-hipóxicas crônicas, também denominada síndrome de Lance-Adams (SLA), surgindo dias, semanas ou meses após a recuperação da consciência do paciente em coma. Ambas caracterizam-se por mioclonias generalizadas, de difícil controle medicamentoso, que caracteristicamente pioram aos estímulos táteis, verbais e sensoriais. A incidência da SLA é baixa, sendo uma síndrome rara, poucos casos no mundo são descritos até o momento¨
