The chronic poshipoxia myoclonus or Lance Adams syndrome is a rare complication that occurs in patients who survive prolonged hypoxia or hypotension, days or weeks after the complication. A case with this syndrome, hypovolemic shock secondary to a ruptured ectopic pregnancy is presented. EEG with no paroxysms supports the origin of myoclonus subcortical with favorable response to alonazepán. Neuroimaging and auditory evoked potentials and brainstem studies were detailed.

Palabras clave : Lance Adams syndrome; hypovolemic shock.
