Head tremor is a typical feature of essential tremor. Patients with sporadic Parkinson's disease can have tremor of the tongue, lip, or chin, but classically do not have head tremor. We describe five patients with Parkinson's disease and head tremor in whom clinical and neurophysiological findings suggested that head tremor was a manifestation of Parkinson's disease.

: In Slovenia, patients with suspected tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) were historically referred to infectious diseases (ID), but during the COVID-19 pandemic, there were increased referrals to neurology. This study compared the clinical management of TBE patients between ID specialists and neurologists and assessed patients' outcomes. : We retrospectively reviewed the clinical, laboratory, and imaging data of 318 adult patients with TBE managed by ID (n = 256; 80.

A 50-year-old woman with a 20-year history of gait instability presented with new-onset vertigo and oscillopsia. Examination revealed bilateral vestibular loss, cerebellar ataxia, sensory neuropathy, a "yes-yes" head tremor, nystagmus and a family history of a similar syndrome. Genetic testing for cerebellar ataxia with neuropathy and bilateral vestibular areflexia syndrome (RFC1) was negative, but whole exome sequencing identified a novel mutation in the DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) gene, broadening the differential diagnosis for this phenotype.

Objective: Pharmacoresistant tremors, often seen in Parkinson disease and essential tremor, significantly impair patient quality of life. Although deep brain stimulation has been effective, its invasive nature limits its applicability. MR-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) thalamotomy offers a noninvasive alternative, but its cognitive impacts are not fully understood.
