Abstract

Approximately 5% of new essential tremor (ET) cases arise during childhood. The goal of the current report was to examine the possible association between male gender and pediatric ET, using data from 95 pediatric ET cases seen at three medical centers (two in the United States and one in Spain). The odds of ET in our sample of cases were threefold higher in boys compared to girls. Whether this association between male gender and pediatric ET represents a selection bias or a true gender‐mediated biological difference in disease expression is not known, although some data support the latter possibility.

To examine a possible relationship of essential tremor to Parkinson's disease (PD), 130 patients with essential tremor were studied. Twenty-five patients had both essential tremor and PD. These 25 patients were matched for age and duration of P D symptoms with 25 patients who had idiopathic PD. Brad

## Abstract Familial cortical myoclonic tremor with epilepsy (FCMTE) is characterized by a distal kinetic tremor, infrequent epileptic attacks, and autosomal dominant inheritance. The tremor is thought to originate from the motor cortex. In our patient group, a premovement cortical spike could not
