tremor/hemorrhage

Two men, aged 63 and 71 years, developed a gross action tremor and dysesthesias several months after an intracerebral hemorrhage. CT and MRI showed a small hemorrhage in the posterior region of the lateral nucleus of the thalamus in each patient. The tremor occurred on movement, had frequencies of

A 23-year-old woman without demonstrable risk factors for cerebral hemorrhage was admitted after the acute onset of hemiparesis of the left side. A computed tomography scan showed a small right thalamic hemorrhage. Cerebral angiography was normal, and she was managed conservatively. Three months

Cystic fibrosis (CF), an autosomal recessive disease with multi-system involvement, may present with bleeding in infancy owing to vitamin K malabsorption. Infantile tremor syndrome (ITS) is an obscure condition associated with vitamin B12 and other micronutrient deficiencies, described predominantly

Tremors in association with thalamic haemorrhage have been infrequently reported, and delayed rubral tremor as a complication of such an event is quite rare. We describe a patient with a combined resting-postural-kinetic tremor due a thalamic haemorrhage. Magnetic resonance imaging showed evidence

Holmes' tremor is a condition characterized by a mixture of postural, rest, and action tremors due to midbrain lesions in the vicinity of the red nucleus. Hypertrophic olivary degeneration (HOD) is a rare type of neuronal degeneration involving the dento-rubro-olivary pathway and may present

A severe rest tremor arose in a patient's right arm 9 months after a pontine tegmental hemorrhage. Magnetic resonance studies at 4 and 10 months showed residual hemosiderin in the pons and increasing hypertrophic olivary degeneration (HOD) affecting primarily the left olive. The tremor was

Holmes tremor is an arrhythmic, 2- to 5-Hz resting, postural, and kinetic upper extremity movement disorder that occurs weeks to months after acute mesencephalic pathology. We present a patient who developed tremor in three body parts postbrainstem hemorrhage with subsequent hypertrophic olivary

This 49-year-old man gradually developed a disabling action tremor in the proximal right upper extremity 8 months after suffering a pontine tegmental hemorrhage. The intraoperative microrecording in the nucleus ventralis intermedius (VIM) of the left thalamus revealed tremor-synchronous grouped

Stereotactic thalamotomy has been reported to be effective in the control of various tremors, including essential tremor. We report a 69-year-old female who experienced spontaneous thalamotomy with a small thalamic hemorrhage, resulting in disappearance of essential tremor on the contralateral side

We report 2 patients who presented a brainstem hemorrhage and who, after 1 and 6 months, respectively, developed a 4-Hz postural and resting tremor consistent with Holmes tremor, which severely interfered with the activities of daily living. In both cases, levodopa dramatically improved the tremor.

OBJECTIVE Vim stimulation is effective in Parkinsonian and essential tremor. Our aim is to prove that it is also effective in other complex tremor syndromes such as Holmes' tremor. METHODS A 31-year-old previously healthy man developed resting, action, and postural tremor in bilateral upper

A 25 year old man had an acute subarachnoid haemorrhage due to the rupture of a right peduncular subthalamic arteriovenous malformation. Seven months later he developed a left rest tremor associated with mild bilateral extrapyramidal symptoms and responsive to levodopa treatment. Surface EMG

Holmes tremor is a rare movement phenomenon, with atypical low-frequency tremor at rest and when changing postures, often related to brainstem pathology. We report a 70-year-old female patient who was presented with dystonic head and upper limb tremor after brainstem hemorrhage. The patient had

Holmes' tremor is a low-frequency rest and intentional tremor secondary to various insults, including cerebral ischemia, hemorrhage, trauma, or neoplasm. Pharmacologic treatment is usually unsuccessful, and some cases require surgical intervention. We report a rare case of Holmes' tremor secondary

Holmes tremor is also known as rubral or midbrain tremor. The tremor usually involves lesions near the red nucleus and the nerve fiber tracts originating in the cerebellum and the substantia nigra. We report a case of a 62-year-old woman who presented with Holmes tremor 5 months after a left
