Contralateral hemi-parkinsonism and atypical tremor after stroke (a case report).

Extrapyraramidal parkinsonian-like syndromes have been observed as manifestations of different central nervous system lesions. A 45-year-old-man gradually developed tremor and slowing of movements 2 years after a stroke. Neurological examination revealed slight hemiparesis, muscle rigidity and bradykinesia in the left limbs.

Clinical and electromyographic examinations of Parkinsonian tremor.

Background: The clinical presentations of postural Parkinsonian tremor are variable and different types of tremors have been described. The aim of this study was to re-evaluate the clinical and electromyographic (EMG) pattern of different tremors in Parkinsonian patients.Methods: One hundred and ten patients with Parkinsonian tremor were included in the study.

Clinical and electromyographic examinations of patients with essential tremor.

Background: It is believed that no clinical differences exist among essential, familial and senile tremor, or between the tremor with synchronous or alternating electromyographic activity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and electromyographic findings in a large group of patients with different types of essential tremor.

Methods: Two hundred and twenty patients with sporadic, familial or senile variants of essential tremor were examined.
