  • Title: Primary writing tremor treated by stereotactic selective thalamotomy.
    Author: Ohye C, Miyazaki M, Hirai T, Shibazaki T, Nakajima H, Nagaseki Y.
    Journal: J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry; 1982 Nov; 45(11):988-97. PubMed ID: 6757390.
    Abstract:
    Three cases with primary writing tremor were treated successfully by stereotactic selective thalamotomy centred mainly on the ventralis intermedius nucleus. They exhibited progressive coarse tremor of 5-7 Hz during writing, and Westphal's phenomenon on stretch, as the only neurological manifestations. Within the thalamus, a very high incidence of irregular burst discharges was recorded. These findings suggest that the writing tremor is an organic disorder.
