  • Title: Severe upper airway obstruction in essential tremor presenting as asthma.
    Author: Izquierdo-Alonso JL, Martínez-Martín P, Juretschke-Moragues MA, Serrano-Iglesias JA.
    Journal: Eur Respir J; 1994 Jun; 7(6):1182-4. PubMed ID: 7925890.
    Abstract:
    A 57 year old man with essential tremor (ET) presented with a 2 year history of paroxysmal attacks of dyspnoea and wheezing. He had been diagnosed as having bronchial asthma, and propanolol was excluded from his treatment. Flow-volume loops showed abrupt changes in maximum flows, with poor reproducibility. A diagnosis of functional upper airway obstruction was confirmed by fibreoptic bronchoscopy. The importance of establishing the precise diagnosis, in order to provide appropriate treatment, is emphasized.
