Abstract

Holmes tremor is a low-frequency tremor clinic that predominantly affects proximal extremities during rest, posture, and action. It is generally associated with lesions located in the mesencephalon or thalamus. It is thought that the clinic is formed in similar phenomenology but as a result of different physiopathologic events. It is known that weeks, months, or even years pass from the underlying cause for the duration of symptoms. In this article, it is aimed to present a case of Holmes tremor, developing approximately nine months after HIV-related toxoplasmic abscess located in the mesencephalon and the thalamus and to discuss these rare associations with the literature.
