摘要
Benign tremulous parkinsonism(BTP)is characterized by a prominent tremor that occurs both at rest and with action in conjunction with other mild features of parkinsonism.The progression of symptoms is typically slow and there is often a positive family history.Although BTP is included within the phenotypic spectrum of Parkinsonism its exact relationship with idiopathic Parkinson’s disease remains unclear.Treatment of BTP is challenging especially considering the poor response to levodopa,therefore surgical therapies such as deep brain stimulation surgery are sought for treatment of these tremors.In this review,we will summarize the clinical features,diagnosis,neuropathology and treatment for BTP.
