Fasciculation

Fascikulation

Svensk definition

Ofrivilliga, motoriska småryckningar i enstaka muskler eller muskeltrådar som kan kännas pirriga och som kan ses som darrningar eller vibrationer under huden. De kan vara godartade eller bero på motorisk nervsjukdom eller sjukdom i det perifera nervsystemet.

Engelsk definition

Involuntary contraction of the muscle fibers innervated by a motor unit. Fasciculations may be visualized as a muscle twitch or dimpling under the skin, but usually do not generate sufficient force to move a limb. They may represent a benign condition or occur as a manifestation of MOTOR NEURON DISEASE or PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISEASES. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1294)
