Abstract
Long-term treatment of essential tremor (ET) with ventral intermediate (ViM) nucleus deep brain stimulation (DBS) may be complicated by rebound tremor and loss of sustained tremor control over days to weeks after DBS programming. This phenomenon is well-recognized but definitive treatments are lacking. In this chapter, the authors present a case in which rebound tremor was attributed to sub-optimal lead placement. Patient’s symptoms improved and tremor control was re-captured after electrode revision. Risk factors and management strategies for rebound tremor are also reviewed.
