Abstract
Postpolio syndrome refers to new symptoms that may occur years after recovery from acute paralitic poliomyelitis. Diagnosis of PPS is based on clinical grounds. Conventional electrophysiological evaluation do not distinguish between residual paralitic poliomyelitis and PPS. We reported a case of PPS with myokymia and abnormal F response that is related with actual motor neuron degeneration. [Journal of Turgut Ozal Medical Center 1997;4(4):446-448]
