Question
Sir, I have a patient aged 10 years right handed bon/cm presented with tremors pin rolling type in the left hand associated with head bobbing movements. Child was fine 5 days back when he was given some medication for cough, there was no vomiting and fever. After that the child started with these tremors. There is no rigidity, postural instability or gait changes. There is no loss of higher functions and there are no cerebellar signs. What can be the probable etiology? MRI done, no changes in brain.
Answer
Are the tremors present in sleep? Is the examination suggestive of extrapyramidal involvement or cerebellar involvement. Rule out drug-induced problems. Also a viral encephalitis. If it persists, one may need to get an EEG and also rule out Wilson's disease, chorea and parkinson's disease.
