Case presentation: A.B.P., 5 years and 1 month, female, born at term, APGAR 9/10, manifested neuropsychomotor development (NPMD) delay 8 months and, year 3 months, after a fever, she had her first epileptic seizure, with generalized tremor. Since then, has shown regression of NPMD milestones, self-aggression swallowing difficulties. The seizures persisted, occurring up to 6 times day, tonic-clo...

Sir, We would like to thank Striano et al. (2013) for their remarks on our paper and would like to comment on some of the mentioned points. We agree that it is important to pay close attention to the correct classification of new syndromes such as familial cortical myoclonic tremor with epilepsy (FCMTE) as any inconsistencies will hamper the discovery of the underlying pathophysiology. Summing ...

INTRODUCTION Knowledge regarding tremor prevalence and phenomenology in patients with adult-onset primary dystonia is limited. Dystonic tremor is presumably under-reported, and we aimed to assess the prevalence and the clinical correlates of tremor in patients with adult-onset primary dystonia. METHODS We enrolled 473 consecutive patients with different types of adult-onset primary dystonia. ...

OBJECTIVE There is evidence that the tremor frequency in essential tremor (ET) decreases with time. Longitudinal studies on the evolution of tremor frequencies in Parkinson's disease (PD) have so far not been published. Here, we present a longitudinal analysis of tremor frequencies in PD and ET. METHODS We analyzed the standardized accelerometric and electromyographic tremor recordings of 53 ...

Neurological features in celiac disease (CD) are not rare (5%-36%), but tremor is scarcely described. Subjects with CD and healthy controls completed an online survey using WHIGET tremor rating scale. One thousand five hundred and twelve subjects completed the survey, finally 674 CD patients and 290 healthy subjects were included. A higher prevalence of tremor in CD patients was observed in com...

BACKGROUND We peformed a ventral intermediate nucleus (Vim) thalamotomy in a patient with Holmes' tremor and palatal tremor. The frequencies of these movement disorders were 4 Hz and 3 Hz, respectively. Vim thalamotomy stopped the Holmes' tremor but not the palatal tremor. Our observations suggest different mechanisms for these two involuntary movements. CASE PRESENTATION A 57-arm 11 months a...

OBJECTIVES (1)To describe the prevalence and severity of tremor in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) registered within a large North American MS registry; (2) to provide detailed descriptions on the characteristics and severity of tremor in a subset of registrants and (3) to compare several measures of tremor severity for strength of agreement. SETTING The North American Research Committe...

Animal studies suggest that an olivocerebello-bulbospinal pathway mediates harmaline induced tremor, which resembles essential tremor in humans. However, recent evidence suggests that thalamocortical pathways participate in essential tremor. Thalamic single neuron activity has been analysed during thalamotomy for essential tremor. It has been shown by spectral cross correlation analysis that th...

The objective is to present a method to analyze vocal tremor in sustained speech sounds and compare the results with a perceptual scoring of the degree of tremor. The vocal cycle lengths are tracked by salience analysis and dynamic programming. The cycle length time series is then split into three components by empirical mode decomposition: jitter, tremor and trend. Tremor cues are obtained via...
