Morvan Syndrome is an uncommon and complex neurological disorder characterized by hyperactivity of the central, autonomic, and peripheral nervous systems. The disorder manifests in the central nervous system through symptoms such as confusion, behavioral changes, myoclonus, and insomnia, with additional occurrences of hallucinosis and encephalopathy. Autonomic hyperactivity includes features like hyperhidrosis, constipation, labile blood pressure, hemodynamic instability, and cardiac arrhythmias. Painful muscle cramps, myokymia, and neuromyotonia demonstrate peripheral nervous system hyperactivity. Autoantibodies against proteins comprising the voltage-gated potassium channel complex (VGKC), specifically CASPR2 and LGI1, are often associated with Morvan syndrome. With only 60 case reports published in French and even fewer in the English-language medical literature, Morvan syndrome poses diagnostic and treatment challenges to medical professionals. This educational activity for healthcare professionals aims to enhance their competence in managing Morvan syndrome. Clinicians completing the activity can expect improved diagnostic and treatment skills, ultimately leading to heightened proficiency in addressing the unique challenges associated with this rare and complex neurological condition.
