Parkinsonism in essential tremor cases: A clinicopathological study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Essential tremor and Parkinson's syndrome are two common movement disorders that may co-occur in some individuals. There is no diagnostic neuropathology for essential tremor, but in PD and other Parkinson's syndrome variants, the neuropathology is well known. The spectrum of Parkinson's syndrome variants associated with essential tremor, their clinical features, and course have not been determined in autopsy-confirmed cases.

Objectives

To identify: diagnostic features of essential tremor/Parkinson's syndrome, different Parkinson's syndrome variants, and long-term clinical profile in such cases.

Methods

Patients that had an essential tremor diagnosis and a subsequent clinical or pathological diagnosis of Parkinson's syndrome seen in our clinic during 50 year
