Abstract

Essential palatal tremor (EPT), previously referred as palatal myoclonus, is a rare movement disorder characterized by rhythmic and continuous jerks of soft palate [1]. While symptomatic palatal tremor (SPT) is typically caused by brainstem or cerebellar lesions [2], pathogenetic mechanism underlying EPT remains debated [1]. Here we reported a simultaneous brain fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (18F-FDG-PET)/3 T- magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study in a woman with EPT.
