Orthostatic tremor secondary to recreational use of solvents

Orthostatic tremor secondary to recreational use of solvents.

Los disolventes orgánicos son compuestos orgánicos volátiles, que se utilizan para disolver materias primas, productos o materiales residuales, utilizándose como agentes de limpieza, como pegamentos, como componentes de pinturas, como plastificantes y muchos otros usos industriales. Dada su amplia disponibilidad puede ser objeto de uso como sustancia con efectos psicoestimulante, siendo esto má...

[Orthostatic tremor inducing instability].

Orthostatic tremor (OT) is a neurological disease of unknown aetiology. It is defined by the presence of a 10-20 Hz tremor in the legs while standing still. Symptoms described are dizziness and instability that diminish if the patient sits down or leans on something; drinking small amounts of alcohol significantly reduces OT. Due to the dizziness and/or unsteadiness, these patients are usually ...

Orthostatic tremor: a cerebellar pathology?

SEE MUTHURAMAN ET AL DOI101093/AWW164 FOR A SCIENTIFIC COMMENTARY ON THIS ARTICLE: Primary orthostatic tremor is characterized by high frequency tremor affecting the legs and trunk during the standing position. Cerebellar defects were suggested in orthostatic tremor without direct evidence. We aimed to characterize the anatomo-functional defects of the cerebellar motor pathways in orthostatic t...

Evidence for a non-orthostatic origin of orthostatic tremor.

OBJECTIVES Orthostatic tremor was first described by Heilman in 1984. It usually occurs in the legs during stance and decreases markedly during sitting or walking. The aim of this study was to determine if orthostatic tremor is invariably associated with the orthostatic and weight bearing conditions in the arms and legs, and to investigate the features of orthostatic tremor under different leve...
