We describe a 64-year-old woman who developed spinal myoclonus around the left scapula after long thoracic nerve injury by mastectomy. Involuntary muscle twitching was semi-rhythmic, and ultrasonography identified contraction of the serratus anterior, teres major, and rhomboid muscles. FDG-PET imaging revealed markedly increased glucose uptake only in the serratus anterior.

We describe a patient who presented myoclonus in the left scapula 3 months after a traumatic lesion of the left long thoracic nerve. Myoclonic activity was recorded as pseudorhythmic electromyographic bursts repeated at a frequency of 2 to 4 Hz, each lasting between 100 and 200 msec, in the left serratus-dorsalis muscle region, trapezius, and deltoid muscles. A combination of peripheral and central mechanisms may have induced the myoclonus in this case.
