Problems and controversies in tremor classification
2022, Journal of the Neurological SciencesCitation Excerpt :The latter also obfuscates a plethora of other neurological conditions as orthostatic tremor plus does not reveal what the ‘plus’ indicates. For example, 13-18 Hz orthostatic tremor has been reported in patients with spinocerebellar ataxia type 2, stiff person syndrome, mitochondrial C10orf2 TWINKLE mutation, a female carrier of a REEP 1 mutation (spastic paraparesis SPG31) focal dystonia, oro-facial dyskinesia, (minor) head injury, a pontine tuberculoma and a midbrain lesion [13,21–25]. The language one uses to classify medical conditions is of importance.
Orthostatic tremor: A review of 45 cases
2014, Parkinsonism and Related DisordersCitation Excerpt :OT has been associated with Graves disease [19], thiamine deficiency [20], monoclonal and biclonal gammopathy of underdetermined significance [21,22], and small cell cancer lung cancer with positive anti-Hu antibodies [23]. Other unusual associations include delayed onset OT after head trauma [24], a nonenhancing structural lesion in the left dorsolateral midbrain [25] and lesions (schwannoma and tuberculoma) affecting the pontine structures [26]. Abnormal activation of a central tremor generator by a unilateral structural lesion may cause bilateral OT.
Orthostatic tremor - a review
2011, Handbook of Clinical NeurologyCitation Excerpt :Most cases of OT are idiopathic, with normal magnetic resonance imaging of the brain. Symptomatic OT does occur (Fig. 35.2) and has been described in patients with ET (Papa and Gershanik, 1988; FitzGerald and Jankovic, 1991), pontine lesions (Benito-Leon et al., 1997; Setta and Manto, 1998), cerebellar degeneration (Manto et al., 1999), head trauma (Sanitate and Meerschaert, 1993), aqueduct stenosis, relapsing polyradiculoneuropathy (Gabellini et al., 1990), paraneoplastic syndrome associated with small-lung cancer (Gilhuis et al., 2005), Graves' disease (Tan et al., 2008), parkinsonism, restless-legs syndrome (Gerschlager et al., 2004), and thiamine deficiency (Nasrallah and Mitsias, 2007). Of particular interest is the association of OT with parkinsonism.
Essential Tremor and Other Tremors
2010, Blue Books of NeurologyCitation Excerpt :The first is a different expression of the classic resting PD tremor, and it has been called “pseudo-OT.”177 Symptomatic OT has been described in nontumoral aqueduct stenosis, after head trauma,178 in vascular lesions, or and in abscesses.179 The high-frequency EMG pattern is coherent in all the muscles of the body,171 leading to the hypothesis that a bilaterally descending system must underlie OT.
