Fasciculations and cramps may occur in motor neuron disease or as part of a more benign syndrome.

Such a previously undocumented evolution of benign fasciculations and cramps to motor neuron disease may further implicate anterior horn cell dysfunction in the pathogenesis of muscle fasciculation-cramp syndromes.
